Since last December, IBERFOIL has been working towards an ambitious expansion project with the installation of a new slitting line and a new laminator capable of a 1.700 meter width. The plant in Sabiñánigo, which is dedicated to the manufacture of high quality aluminum foil, is going to finish this year with production of nearly 14,000 tons. This would show an increase of 50% when compared to last year – 2015.

Nowadays, the plant has a total capacity of 20,000 tons of aluminum foil and is the only such in Spain with these types of products and market solutions.
