The recyclability of products and the use of sustainable raw material combinations are the main focus areas.
Market and business trends in 2021
In the fiscal year 2021, ACW Film’s sales revenues were roughly on a par with the previous year. The proportion of revenues generated by sustainable film composites increased significantly. At the same time, a conventional product category was removed from the portfolio. Moreover, the operating division expanded its laminating capacities by investing in a new solvent-free laminating line. The procurement situation and price developments on commodity markets posed a particular challenge in the past year.
Outlook 2022
ACW Film is generally upbeat about its prospects for 2022. The target is to boost revenues. The additional laminating capacities and the launch of new products in the field of sustainability are expected to play a major role in meeting this target. Among other things, the operating division plans to roll out its N-Viron-Flex® lidding films, whose excellent recycling properties have been certified by independent institutes, and N-Viron-Flex® laminates for pouch applications. To counter the ongoing challenges on the commodity markets, the current year will also be shaped by numerous activities to maintain supply chains and ensure reliable deliveries.
