ePac Poland North is a partnership between ePac and flexible printed circuit board manufacturer mFlex.
It will operate from mFlex’s flexible production facility, which already uses digital printing technologies.
ePac Holdings Europe managing director Johnny Hobeika said: “Bringing our great business model to Poland to help local brands there is hugely exciting.
“These are of course very challenging times, but despite the pandemic, we have been able to continue with our plans and, together with mFlex, offer our Polish customers a local and unique solution to their flexible packaging needs.”
