Costron plans to further improve its global production capacity of polycarbonate (PC) special film to meet the growing demand in the Asia-Pacific region and the world. The company has started to build a new extrusion production line in Map Ta Phut Industrial Park in Thailand.

These films are mainly used in the fields of identity documents, car displays, and electrical and electronic fields. The investment amount of the project is more than 10 million euros, and it is planned to be completed in 2025. In total, about 50 new jobs will be created.

Sucheta Govil, chief business officer of Costron, said: “Through this investment, we are strengthening our solutions and special products department, and are committed to further expanding our growing business. At the same time, we are responding to the growing demand and supporting the expansion of future technology and industry”.

Aleta Richards, global head of Costron’s special film department, said: “We hope to promote the growth of polycarbonate film business with innovation and strong attention to customers. In the process, our goal is to strengthen cooperation with customers in the Asia-Pacific region and expand our product portfolio in the area of circular economy.”

Expanded the range of films made from alternative raw materials

Costron has provided a series of more sustainable PC films, such as those with quality balance grade certified by the internationally recognized ISCC PLUS standard. The raw materials of these films are produced by using biological waste and residues.

These raw materials are considered in the value chain and production, and are applied to products.

Since 2022, Map Ta Phut factory has also obtained ISCC PLUS certification, enabling it to produce and supply products with balanced quality. Customers can use these products in their established processes and apply them to achieve sustainable development goals. In addition, Covestro also provides a series of films partially made of plant raw materials or recycled plastics.
