Aluminium foil

The alufoil production within Europe has been growing steadily over the last decades as it is a sustainable and cost-effective packaging option. The trend towards lighter packaging and therefore flexible packaging supports the increasing demand for aluminium foil. The European foil rollers continuously develop and optimise their products in terms to support their customers.

Approximately three quarters of aluminium foil is used in packaging where its characteristics of barrier properties and formability have made it an essential part of many flexible packaging and container applications. Other uses of aluminium foil include automotive and heat exchange components, insulation material and many industrial applications.
