As part of Cortec European Group, the plant is expected to enhance manufacturing capabilities to meet all the market challenges, as well as the growing demand for VpCI films and bags packaging.

Cortec’s VpCI technology is used to manufacture EcoCortec films and bags as a solution to prevent corrosion and replace standard rust preservatives such as oils and desiccants. VpCI packaging eliminates the need for degreasing or coating removal.
