Coveris used the investment for upgrading machine capacity and infrastructure at the site.
The comprehensive site enhancement at Coveris Halle includes three major developments: the introduction of a new cast film extrusion line, the launch of next-generation printing capacity, and the implementation of a new logistics concept.
These improvements are aimed at improving production efficiency, quality output, and supporting sustainable growth, stated the company.
The new F08 cast film extrusion line is now fully operational, following material qualification. This addition increases the plant’s adaptability in developing materials and facilitates the creation of customised packaging solutions designed for future demands.

The T9 Rotomec gravure printing press has also completed its testing phase and is now fully operational.
This advanced press improves the speed, accuracy, and dependability of printing, allowing for the manufacture of high-quality packaging with better uniformity and reduced production times.
Furthermore, a newly constructed warehouse has optimised internal logistics and expanded on-site storage. The latest facility streamlines operations, enhances the efficiency of material management, and boosts the performance of deliveries.
All upgrades have been completed, and the site’s overhaul aligns with Coveris’ wider goal to modernise its production landscape and drive value through intelligent, sustainable expansion.
Coveris Germany flexibles managing director Michael Schrameyer said: “This completed investment is a testament to our long-term vision and commitment to delivering high-performance packaging solutions. Halle is now equipped to meet evolving market demands with even greater agility and quality.”
Last month, Coveris invested an additional £1m in its Linerless Labelling Centre of Excellence located in Spalding, England, to meet rising demand.
