PET film maker Evertis has announced the expansion of its production facilities in Mexico, Brazil and Portugal recently.
It is said that Evertis will increase production by a total of 21,000 tons per year between the three sites which includes adding 5,000, 6,000 and 10,000 tons in Brazil, Mexico and Portugal respectively.
Its Portugal plant has already increased capacity from 30,000 to 45,000 tons last year. The new expansion will help the maker of mono and multilayer PET film for packaged products to almost double its production.
A subsidiary of IMG Group of Portugal, Evertis aims to become the second largest PET film producer in Europe over the next few years.
The Portugal plant is expected to produce thin gauges that are aimed at a wider range of applications. It also plans to meet the increasing demand for lightweight materials and decreased packaging to adjust to higher environmental standards.
Its new Mexico plant is expected to target the United States market.
More on PET markets in Latin America will be discussed at 13th LAPET (Latin America PET Resin Trade, Application & Recycling) on 21-22 October, 2015 in Mexico City.
