Films And Labelstocks New Slitting Facilities

New slitting facilities have been provided by UPM Raflatac with the opening of a new slitting and distribution terminal in Mumbai (India) to provide for UPM Raflatac's filmic and paper labelstocks.

The new terminal will also strengthen the company's delivery to customers in the region with shorter delivery times and a more diverse product range, said UPM.

Jussi Vanhanen, senior vice president of UPM Raflatac Asia-Pacific, said: "The investment demonstrates UPM Raflatac's long-term commitment to the Indian labelling market.

We believe our customers will appreciate our local supply of high-quality filmic labelstock range, as well as our renowned speciality range of paper laminates.

Most importantly, we intend to provide a superior service." UPM Raflatac said it is investing in the Asia-Pacific labelling business.

In addition to the terminal in Mumbai, the company has announced the establishment of a new terminal in Auckland (New Zealand) and in Bangkok (Thailand).

In March, the company also opened its new pressure sensitive labelstock production facility in Changshu (China).

During 2006, slitting and distribution terminals were opened in Jakarta (Indonesia) and Guangzhou (China).

UPM Raflatac currently operates factories in the Asia-Pacific region in China, Malaysia and Australia.
