Forop invests in 16 Goebel slitter rewinders

Fujian Forop Advanced Materials is one of the leaders in producing and selling BOPP film products in the Chinese market. The industrial giant means to start two new production sites in southwest and southeast China by 2025, leading to six production sites with 30 BOPP production lines. This industrial development will boost the group's production potential, which intends to become the largest producer of BOPP film in the world.

The agreements signed in 2021 to supply 16 Goebel IMS Monoslit 9000 BOPP slitter rewinders create a solid basis with an additional agreement expected to be finalized in 2022 that will bring additional primary slitter rewinders for another six BOPP production lines.

Tobias Lanksweirt, managing director of Goebel Schneid und Wickelsysteme and sales director for films, said: ‘Such a project is unique in our history. We are very proud and thankful that Forop put its trust in Goebel IMS. With this project, we show once more that we are the world market leader in primary slitting and rewinding, especially in the field of high-speed BOPP converting. We are looking forward to long and fruitful cooperation with Forop.’
