Germany’s Bruckner Maschinenbau has sold a second BOPP film production line to Russia.

The deal for the 18,000tpa capacity line was signed by HilltonGate, a UK-based international investment group.

The line will be installed at a site in the Moscow region, which has been designed to accommodate another production line with the same capacity. The first line is due to begin production in the first quarter of 2005.

According to Bruckner, HilltonGate is a “renowned consumer of a considerable amount of BOPP film”.

Last month, OAO Novatek ordered a complete film line from the machinery maker, to be built at Nowokujbyschew, Samara.
