Mondi Develops New Tape Service Concept

Mondi Release Liner, Vienna, Austria, reports that it has developed a new service concept for tape converters that enables a secure supply of smaller orders. Nowadays, the challenges for converters are manifold as for instance the minimum order quantities or the lead times, Mondi explains. With the new tape service concept, tape converters not only can rely on the delivery but also have greater flexibility, as the release liners are available from a minimum order quantity of 5.000 square meters.

The markets for release liner are wide spread and range from automotive, hygiene, electronics, building, and medical, to the paper and plastic industry as well as aerospace. Tape converters, Mondi points out, sometimes are required to buy release liners for their converting steps and then face the fact, that their order quantities are far too low to have priority at various suppliers. Customers expect short lead times.

Mondi has six release liner production sites within Europe, offering an exceptional supply security for instance, especially in case of force majeure. "The new tape service concept addresses various challenges of tape converters and ensures a supply security," Tom K. Schaebinger, CEO Fiber Packaging, explains. "We offer the advantage of a ‘one-stop-shop' that supplies converters with small order amounts, in appropriate lead times, and furthermore offers market support," he concludes.

The seven standard grades are either on stock or produced on a regular basis. Other grades are also available on demand, with regular MOQs and delivery times.
