Ergis chief executive Tadeusz Nowicki said: "A very good first half of the year has just passed; we achieved excellent financial results.
"Net result for that period is better than that recorded during the entire 2013.
"The significant increase in profitability primarily follows from launching the sale of the innovative nanoERGIS stretch film and reorganisation in the rigid film segment."
Nowicki added that the company is seeking to invest in the second line for the production of Greenstrap and will also acquire another line for the production of flexible printed packaging in Flexergis.
