Nordmeccanica has gained Gulf Packaging Industries Co. (GulfPack) from Saudi Arabia as a new customer. GulfPack, a manufacturer of BOPP and CPP films, is investing in a PowerMet 29 Ngen metallizer for BOPP film processing. This is the first Nordmeccanica machine at GulfPack.
The system is equipped with an evaporation unit that enables high coating speeds. A high-performance vacuum system ensures stable production conditions, even under varying operating parameters. The web and production speed reaches up to 18 m/s, and the system is designed for maximum material throughput per batch. Ergonomic designs facilitate roll changes, cleaning, maintenance, and machine setup.

The winding system ensures precise tension control. The process roll can be cooled down to –20 °C, and an additional gas injection unit (“Ex.ce.l”) is integrated. A plasma treatment system further enhances film processing. The combination of these technologies aims to achieve a uniform aluminum coating at high production output.
The investment highlights GulfPack’s strategic expansion in the BOPP film segment and its use of modern metallization technology to optimize efficiency and process stability.
