OREANDA-NEWS. From 19 to 23 May, BIAXPLEN (part of SIBUR), a leading Russian BOPP film producer, will be taking part in Ipack-Ima 2015, a global exhibition to be held at Fiera Milano Exhibition Center in Milan, Italy.

The Company’s stand will showcase its latest BOPP film samples, featuring such products as opaque, label, metallised, antifog and tobacco product films.

BIAXPLEN team will also be happy to advise the attendees on all aspects of its cooperation with European clients, including the pricing policy, feedstock quality, logistics optimisation and other matters.

"In 2014, EU accounted for 15% of BIAXPLEN supplies, but the Company plans to ramp up significantly its EU exports in the near future. The strongest increase is expected to be driven by larger supplies to BIAXPLEN's traditional markets such as Italy, Poland, Turkey and Greece and the expansion into new markets including Germany, France and other countries. In the European market, which is largely a mature one, we are ready to offer an alternative to European suppliers of standard films by making the best value proposition", said Ilya Papusha, BIAXPLEN Marketing Director, commenting on the Company's participation in Ipack-Ima 2015.

BIAXPLEN will showcase its products in Exhibition Hall 10, Lane C. For more details about the exhibition please visit its official website.
