GualapackGroup, Italy, a producer of premade spouted pouches, continues its expansion in LATAM (Latin American) countries with the start of a brand new flexible packaging facility in Chile.

Located close to Santiago, the new plant will be dedicated to pouches and spouted pouches production. 

"The new investment will strengthen our position in LATAM, a strategic area for our Group and, together with our existing subsidiaries in Costa Rica and Brazil, will consolidate our production platform on the Central and South American continent. Our vision remains, just like we did in Europe within the past five years, to invest in regional production sites to provide our local partners the best logistics and a proximity service," said Michele Guala, GualapackGroup's CEO.

The new facility is planned to achieve full production capacity by spring 2018. 

  

GualapackGroup is a key global player in the flexible packaging industry. To date, it has manufacturing sites in Europe (4), Commonwealth of Independent States (1), Latin America (3), Mexico and through joint ventures in the U.S. (1), and the Far East (2).
