Brückner has taken a huge leap forward towards the up-and-coming Russian film market: A contract has just been signed with the Moscow-based company, OAO Novatek for a complete turnkey project for the production of high-quality BOPP film.
Undoubtedly, Novatek is one of Russia`s foremost companies and is Number Two in the country within the field of gas exploration and distribution. The new BOPP film plant will be located in Nowokujbyschew/Samara.
Main criteria which led to Novatek`s decision in favour of Brückner:
Unrivalled competence and most advanced technology from the world market leader
High innovation and flexibility with regard to project financing, terms of payment and delivery
Profound experience in the realization of real turnkey projects
German quality and reliability
