sicht-pack HAGNER set the course to manufacture transparent packages and thermoformed parts out of PET already in the middle of the 80s.
At that time, sicht-pack counted as one of the most important manufacturers of transparent packages in Germany.
The knowledge and the experience of transparent and thermoformed packages directly contributed to the development of PET films. Meeting a good response to their PET packages, sicht-pack started marketing PET films. In 1991, the first laminating installation for the manufacturing of composite films was put into operation. In 1997, Hans Hagner handed over the management to his son Heinrich Hagner.
On account of the enormous demand for PET films, the enterprise was reoriented. sicht-pack HAGNER concentrated on amplifying its capacities of manufacturing films on the one hand, and on the large-scale production of transparent packages on the other hand so that the enterprise left the fields of folding boxes, circular boxes and self-locking cases.

SICHT-PACK HAGNER Translation:
New production plant in the USA / Future Films out of PET / Market development with KoSa

After having established its strong position in Europe in the market for films and film packages, sicht-pack Hagner GmbH (D-72280 Dornstetten / Hallwangen; www.sicht-pack-hagner.de) now expands in the USA, too. Beginning of February, Hagner is going to launch a plant with initially one extrusion line for A-PET and PET-G in Spartanburg, South Carolina. According to managing director Heinrich Hagner, the investment sum amounts to a total of 7.5 m USD.

The plant at first serves for supplying the company-owned Canadian branch in Montreal where packages were produced out of PVC films supplied by external manufacturers to date. The production is now to be readjusted to PET from Spartanburg. The new factory was erected on the local premises of the world market leader of PET manufacturing KoSa (Germany: D-60528 Frankfurt; www.kosa.com). Hereby, a loose strategic partnership is also expressed. KoSa wants to leverage the utilization of PET packaging films in the USA where the PVC still dominates. The new affiliated Hagner company Future Film 2000 is intended to take part in the brake-through into the new market. Expansions of the plant are possible offhand and planned.
