Sustainable Extrusion Partnership: Optimizing Flexible Packaging Lines in the Dominican Republic

In the Dominican Republic, our customer is dedicated to the production and marketing of flexible packaging, recognized as one of the leaders in the Caribbean flexible packaging market. Our partnership began in 2010, when the company installed its first PLASCO blown film extrusion line. Since then, as demand has continued to grow, they have invested in more than a dozen PLASCO blown film lines, covering both monolayer and multilayer configurations.To understand different machine configurations, see our overview of Types of Blown Film Extrusion Machines.

Comprehensive Optimization Across the Production Fleet

In 2025, the customer invited PLASCO to conduct a comprehensive service and optimization program across its entire fleet of blown film lines. Working closely with the customer’s production schedule, our engineering team traveled to their facility to carry out in-depth inspections, system calibrations, and performance adjustments. The program was conducted in collaboration with local engineers, technicians, and operators, ensuring that every line was methodically checked and optimized. Beyond the technical work, our team provided hands-on training on correct operation and measurement practices, empowering the customer’s staff with practical knowledge for long-term efficiency.

Building Technical Confidence Through Collaboration

The service concluded with a plant-wide Q&A session, where operators and technicians had the opportunity to raise day-to-day operational challenges and receive direct feedback and guidance from PLASCO engineers. This interactive exchange not only resolved immediate questions but also strengthened the local team’s technical confidence and capability for future operations.

A Sustainable Partnership for the Future

For PLASCO, sustainability extends beyond designing energy-efficient equipment—it means ensuring that every line we deliver continues to create value for decades. By revitalizing existing assets rather than replacing them, our customer maximized the lifecycle of their equipment, minimized waste, and avoided the environmental footprint of unnecessary equipment turnover.

This successful project is a testament to PLASCO’s philosophy: we stand firmly behind every customer and every machine we build—delivering technology, service, and partnership that enable sustainable growth for the flexible packaging industry worldwide.
