The new project is supported with a European Union grant of EUR867,000 (USD940,000) set to cover the cost of switching from natural gas to renewable energy through the use of solar panels and biomass fuel.
The company, based nearby in Herceghalom, manufactures polyethylene and BOPP films, cling film, laminates, converted bags and sacks and other packaging for the Hungarian food industry.

The upgrade, completed last June, was designed to enable Taghleef to serve the label industry with IML as well as the food sector.
Sipospack is a dynamic young packaging company only formed in 1996 which achieved its initial market position in the area of plastic film wrap. Today, the firm is the biggest distributor of films produced at Tiszaujvaros, Hungary by the Dubai-based producer Taghleef Industries.
