Mondi invests to boost FIBC liner films

Mondi is investing in its Styria, Austria, plant to further boost its ability to offer safe, clean, environmentally friendly liners for Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC)

The new side-gusseting device will come equipped with a special HEPA air filter to clean the air within the blown-film bubble to remove bacteria and particulates.

Liners produced from high-barrier, side-gusseted tubes minimise the risk of contamination on the inside, compared with liners produced from flat film or foil, such as aluminium liners.

The properties of Mondi’s FIBC liner films make them suitable for food, pharmaceutical and other critical applications, while also helping to advance bag manufacturers’ processes and logistics.

“Not only do Mondi’s FIBC liners advance customers’ processes and logistics, but their superior quality reduces the amount of raw materials used and offers an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional liners,” said Stefan Pfundner, Business Solution Manager, Mondi Technical Films.  

“We see this as an excellent time to boost our presence in the growing milk powder market and related bulk-packaging sectors by leveraging our expertise in customisable barrier-film technology in conjunction with Mondi Styria’s superb hygiene-related packaging.”
