Polypropylene sacks outperform paper sacks

摘要

The Philippine packaging manufacturer Sako-moto International Packaging Corporation supplies the local cement industry with Ad*Star sacks made of PP (polypropylene) fabric. In Caloocan City in the Philippine district Metro Manila, Sakomoto operates numerous tape ex-trusion lines, circular looms as well as lines for coating, printing, and sack conversion from the Austrian machine manufacturer Starlingen "There is a long-standing customer relationship between Starlinger and Sakomoto," explains Franz Steiner, who has known the customer since 2009. "Both sides value the excellent co-operation on a sales, service, and management level." Sakomoto produces around 500 million sacks every year- a figure that will increase even more, as the installed capacity is constantly ex-tended to supply the growing cement market with packaging. Philippine cement plants are in-creasingly recognizing the numerous advantag-es of Ad*Star sacks over paper sacks, causing the market share of Ad*Star sacks to rise contin-uously. In early 2018, two sack production lines were commissioned at Sakomoto.
