History

Key Moments in the Company’s Development

Since its founding, the company’s core activity has been the production of flexible packaging for both food and non-food products. With a presence in domestic and international markets for over 65 years, we stand as proof of consistent quality and successful operations.

To meet all our clients’ requirements, Tipoplastika has, throughout its history, developed a diverse production program offering customers a variety of packaging solutions.

Market demands and the constant need for new technologies led to a major investment in 2018, when our company acquired four new machines. The entire investment was carried out in cooperation with the global manufacturer Bobst.

The installed machines include:
– RS 6003C HS rotogravure printing press,
– 20SIX S flexographic printing press,
– RX 400F flat extrusion line,
– CL 850D laminator.

Understanding the conditions of modern business, and tracking and adapting to changes, is the key to success. One of the ways we ensure this is by continuously improving our integrated management system for quality, environmental protection, and product safety.

To achieve competitiveness and meet the needs and expectations of our customers and all other stakeholders, we have certified our system in accordance with internationally recognized management system standards: ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and FSSC 22000.

Over the decades, we have gone through transformations, always with one goal, to deliver the highest quality packaging. Every step in our history is a foundation on which we build today’s reliability, innovation, and flexibility in production.

See how we have grown, invested, and become what we are today a company with tradition, yet always focused on the future.
