AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS | Clondalkin LPF has invested in a machine to produce stand-up pouches, adding to the company’s existing capabilities manufacturing complex multilayer barrier laminates for food, non-food, and confectionery products.

All in combination with a possible Easy Opening by Laser, using LPF's light radiation technology.
LPF’s knowledge and leadership within the supply of packaging to food, drink, and pet food sectors meant that the production of stand-up pouches was a logical step to take. The investment offers existing and new customers, exciting and new opportunities to source the highest quality stand-up pouches from a highly reputable supplier.

As with all of our investments, the customer is central to our decision, and this new capability means that they can access pouches from us to take advantage of our high quality production techniques and proven customer care ethic.
“The growing demand for our products has recently led to us appointing four additional people to our sales team who will be taking this new product to market globally.”
