Setting the benchmark in the GCC area and beyond

Gulf Packaging Industries Co. (GulfPack), a leading Saudi Arabian plastics film manufacturer, and Brückner Maschinenbau have signed contracts for a significant expansion of their long-standing cooperation: two new state-of-the-art 10.4-meter-wide BOPP production lines which GulfPack will install at a new facility, where there is also room for future projects.

With this major investment, GulfPack increases their BOPP film name plate capacity from 183,000 to approximately 318,000 per annum, serving domestic, as well as export markets with an extended product portfolio. The new lines are scheduled to commence production in 2026 and 2027, respectively.
