FACHPACK 2025: Constantia Flexibles invests over 100 million and expands product portfolio
Wednesday 20. August 2025 - Constantia Flexibles, the producer of flexible packaging, enters FACHPACK 2025 following a period of strategic investment, technological advancement, and portfolio expansion, reinforcing its position in premium flexible packaging and sustainability leadership.
Constantia Flexibles kicked off 2025 with key milestones: acquiring Aluflexpack, expanding its product portfolio, and launching digital printing in Denmark. Its Low Carbon Aluminum Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculation has been validated by TÜV Süd. Visit booth 4-523 to explore the company’s innovations.
Earlier this year, Constantia Flexibles completed the acquisition of Aluflexpack, a leading European supplier of customized flexible packaging solutions. This move significantly strengthens Constantia Flexibles’ footprint in high-value segments, particularly in the food and pharmaceutical industries, while enhancing its technological capabilities and regional production reach.
“We have entered 2025 with a clear focus on delivering flexible packaging ready for tomorrow’s challenges,” said Marc Rademacher, Executive Vice President Consumer Commercial at Constantia Flexibles. “The acquisition of Aluflexpack and our investments across our production plants are not just about growth—they are about creating an agile, future-ready packaging network that serves our customers with greater speed, technical depth, and environmental responsibility.”
With this new addition to the Group, Constantia Flexibles is proud to showcase an expanded product portfolio at FACHPACK 2025 in Nuremberg, September 23-25 at booth 4-523, where it will present a range of innovations, including its Ecolutions portfolio, advanced pouch solutions, and new lidding materials. Constantia Flexibles and Syntegon will jointly present pouches produced on Syntegon’s PMX line to showcase the advanced real-world performance of Constantia Flexibles’ mono-materials EcoLamHighPlus (mono-polyethylene) and EcoVerHighPlus (mono-polypropylene)—for these packaging formats. Constantia Flexibles will also show EcoVerHighPlus in a collaboration with machine builder Wolf Verpackungsmaschinen, featuring a live demonstration at booth 1-428.
Over €100 million invested in global facilities
Constantia Flexibles has committed over €100 million to upgrading its global production network. In Austria, €50 million has been invested in expanding the rolling mill at the Constantia Teich plant, increasing aluminum foil production by around 30 percent up to 90,000 tons annually. An additional €30 million has been allocated to a new lacquering line. In Germany, Constantia Flexibles has invested more than €6 million in a new machine-direct orientation (MDO) line at its Constantia Pirk facility. This advanced line supports the production of EcoLamHighPlus. In Spain, the Burgos plant of Constantia Tobepal has been enhanced with over €15 million for a tandem extruder, increasing capacity and providing a reliable backup for the Logroño site. Meanwhile, in Mexico, the company has invested significantly into the Constantia Aluprint plant to improve speed, reliability, and efficiency.
Digital Printing: Ready to meet the demands of customization and speed
A major technology milestone has been reached with the installation of a state-of-the-art digital printing line at the company’s site in Copenhagen. This industry-first solution allows water-based, full-surface digital printing on aluminum and PET substrates. The system eliminates the need for clichés or plates, enabling rapid design-to-print turnaround while covering 93 percent of Pantone colors. It also allows mass customization while reducing waste.
Low Carbon Aluminum: Product Carbon Footprint calculation methodology validated by TÜV Süd
Further reinforcing its environmental commitment, Constantia Flexibles has received third-party validation from TÜV SÜD for its Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculation methodology for Low Carbon Aluminum. It ensures the accuracy and transparency of carbon footprint data across the value chain, empowering customers to make informed, measurable progress towards their own sustainability targets.
