    Sabic and KraussMaffei’s Netstal brand enter a strategic partnership to further the development of innovative thin-wall packaging applications. The companies will work together at Netstal's Innovation Center at Näfels, Switzerland, on advanced application, material and processing solutions for the thin-wall packaging industry through collaboration across the segment’s value chain.

    Netstal, KraussMaffei’s high-performance injection moulding machine brand produced at the machinery manufacturer’s subsidiary at Näfels, in Switzerland has entered into a strategic partnership with raw materials producer Sabic.

    The collaboration, which will focus on application, material and processing innovations in the thin-wall packaging industry through collaboration across the segment's entire value chain, will be officially launched the first quarter of 2021 at Netstal’s Innovation Centre at KraussMaffei HighPerformance AG in Näfels.

    The Innovation Centre will provide Sabic with the development, processing, material and application testing facilities it needs to develop new material solutions. Significant investments in expansion and equipment are planned, tailored to the needs of the packaging industry that include a dedicated laboratory for injection moulding and part performance evaluation.

    For Sabic, the focus at the joint application centre will be on how to improve important properties of thin-wall packaging applications, such as balance of stiffness, impact strength, cycle time reduction and sustainability.

    These improved material and process insights will lead to a further optimisation of the Netstal Product Packaging portfolio.

    Calling the collaboration a ‘major investment in synergy for us’,  Sergi Monros, Sabic Vice President of Performance Polymers & Industry Solutions, Petrochemicals, said the companies aimed to combine their expertise in polymer science and processing to improve ‘the competitive edge of customers throughout the thin-wall packaging industry and beyond’.

    “We are pleased to welcome SABIC at our Netstal business headquarters here in Switzerland,” said Renzo Davatz, CEO of KraussMaffei HighPerformance AG. “The collaboration with SABIC will add significant momentum to the further development and commercialisation of our product portfolio for innovative new thin-wall packaging applications.”
