This strategic investment addresses the growing demand for nitrocellulose (NC)-free ink technologies in the flexible packaging sector.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This strategic upgrade significantly increases the company\u2019s capacity to produce important resin intermediates for polyurethane (PU) and acrylic-based inks, strengthening Flint Group\u2019s vertically integrated supply chain and securing access to essential raw materials. The expansion supports enhanced availability of Flint Group\u2019s PU-based&nbsp;VertixCode (flexographic) and&nbsp;MatrixCode (gravure) ink solutions. These product lines contribute to improved packaging recyclability by offering high chemical stability, ensuring compatibility with recycling processes, and helping converters meet the forthcoming Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key outcomes of the expansion include a 30% increase in production capacity \u2013 reinforcing Flint Group\u2019s position in the growing PU inks market \u2013 and improved molecular weight distribution through precise raw material and reagent dosing, ensuring consistent, high-performance products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This investment comes at a critical time as global NC supply becomes increasingly constrained, primarily due to the reallocation of NC production toward military-grade materials, causing pressure across supply chains, significant price increases and uncertain availability. Flint Group\u2019s proactive investment delivers customers a stable, sustainable alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFlint Group is committed to delivering market-leading PU solutions that align with the packaging industry\u2019s evolving needs and its transition towards more sustainable and recyclable packaging solutions. Scaling up our NC-free resin production was a strategic investment for Flint Group to ensure our ability to provide a forward-looking alternative that mitigates dependence on nitrocellulose, ensuring greater long-term stability and sustainability for our customers. This investment underscores Flint Group\u2019s dedication to innovation and environmental responsibility,\u00a0\u00bb explains Gonzalo Alas Pumarino, Executive Vice President &#8211; Operations and Supply Chain, Europe.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flint Group, supplier of inks and coatings for the global print and packaging industry, has expanded its resin production facility in Caronno, Italy &#8211; a site that has been in operation for over 30 years and produces more than 20,000 tonnes of resins annually.
