Walki Set to Boost Employment and Expand Eco-Friendly Packaging Production in Wrocław
Walki, a key subsidiary of the Finnish Walki Group, is set to enhance its operational capabilities in Wrocław, Poland, following a significant expansion of its factory premises.
Walki, a key subsidiary of the Finnish Walki Group, is set to enhance its operational capabilities in Wrocław, Poland, following a significant expansion of its factory premises. The expansion includes an additional 10,400 sqm, effectively doubling the warehouse space to a total of 21,000 sqm.
In line with this expansion, Walki has announced plans to augment its workforce by 50-70 new employees. Currently, the Wrocław plant, operational since 2012 and one of Walki Group's two production facilities in Poland, boasts a dedicated team of 100 staff members. These employees are involved in producing an array of products, including packaging materials for the paper industry, barrier liners, and flexible packaging materials.
Aiming to bolster its commitment to sustainability, Walki is looking to invest in advanced technology within the new building. This technology will enable the production of modern, eco-friendly packaging solutions, aligning with the company's strategy to innovate materials for a closed-loop economy.
Walki Group is a leading, international producer of technical laminates and protective packaging materials, specialising in the production of fibre based, intelligent, multilaminate products for markets as diverse as energy saving facings and construction membranes to barrier packaging applications.
Our production facilities are located in Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, the UK, Russia and China. To best cater to our global customers, we aim to continue investing in state-of-the-art production facilities and promoting our tradition of innovation and exceptional service worldwide. Walki’s annual net sales amount to 300 million Euros and the company has a workforce of about 900 people.
Everything we do is strongly rooted in our knowledge of technical multilaminates. We produce a number of specialist energy saving and intelligent laminates used in the construction industry, the steel industry and for various industrial packaging. The list of our new developments is long, containing examples like Walki®4E, a ground-breaking technology for producing flexible circuit boards efficiently and sustainably, enabling conductivity in almost any material, and Walki®Biomass Cover, a paper-based protection material that increases the energy value of logging residue.
Our expertise in multilaminates is also crucial for developing solutions for flexible packaging applications as well as for barrier board and lining materials for the solid case and corrugated industry. Specialist barrier coated and laminated materials are used to protect packed products, reduce waste and improve functionality of the finished pack, for example, by using easy open tear-strip features.
For the paper industry we produce specialist products such as wrappers for paper industry reels, including reel end discs, and printed wrappers for A4 and A3 cut size and folio reams.
| Reel End Discs Walki produces outer reel end discs and a special inner reel end disc. |
| Reel Wrap The function of the reel wrapper is to give mechanical protection, moisture protection and to protect the paper and board reels from dirt and other hygiene hazards. | |
