Pro stress-test →

Profol is a flexible plastic film manufacturer specializing in food and custom packaging films for custom pouch structures, peelable lidding, anti-fog film, textiles, overwraps and shallow-draw thermoforming. Operating advanced cast extrusion facilities across Europe, the Americas and Asia, Profol produces over 120,000 metric tons of plastic film and sheet products annually with more than 500 employees worldwide.
