It will also allow Poligal to provide European converters and end-users with European-wide coverage and a full production backup with its existing plants in Spain and Portugal.
Poligal CEO Santiago Font said that the company is eager to improve its geographical coverage while remaining a medium-sized company focused on delivering quality films, service and close cooperation with clients during project development.
