In this interview, two experts at Sun Chemical discuss the evolution and commercial breakthroughs of inks, coatings and adhesives and how they are helping the flexible packaging sector achieve sustainability.

Kenneth Fox’s journey to becoming a worldwide flexible packaging supplier started from very humble beginnings – as a burlap and mesh bag salesman for a company out of Kansas City, Missouri.

The flexible packaging paper “Koehler NexPlus® Advanced” from Koehler Paper, which has excellent oxygen, mineral oil, and grease barrier properties, is primarily suitable for packaging of chocolate-coated fruit products.

New flexible packaging plant will be the company’s first facility in the commonwealth.

Unsatisfied with the existing options, they assembled a team of world-class team sports dietitians and food scientists with one simple mission: develop a line of products worthy of The Game Changers’ legacy. As a result, FȲTA - derived from the Greek word for “plants” – was born. 

The company has announced the promotion of Nik Green to Vice President of Operations, and the hiring of Chris Benford at its new Sales Director.

The new facility will occupy a 238,000-square-foot site – twice the space of ACTEGA’s four existing locations in North America combined.

The company’s full B2B platform features a touchless inventory management solution that saves time and money while enforcing state-mandated regulatory guidelines. 

Henkel optimized its pioneering coatings specifically for UPM papers, reinforcing their original barrier properties to offer new levels of grease resistance.

Packets are plastic-free and can be buried in a garden or compost pile.
