OUR COMPANY
GEFO has specialised in film extrusion and has been producing cast polypropylene film in Gera since 1994. We opened our own plant at Ernst-M.-Jahr-Straße 10 in 2000.
With the words "There's still something going on!" the company was initially founded with a chill roll line for CPP films and a double bubble line for PE fine shrink films. Since 2008, GEFO has specialised in the production of GEFO-PROP, our highly transparent cast PP flat film. We supply roll goods for further processing to printers, converters, and finishing companies for the production of bags, laminating film, or other applications.
OUR SERVICES
GEFO-PROP is used, among other things, in the packaging of food, especially bread, but also in hygiene, printed matter, textiles, and technical applications.
GEFO PROP cast polypropylene can be produced in a wide range of grades depending on your intended application.
Well-known manufacturers rely on our film expertise.
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Our mission and our actions focus on the satisfaction of our customers, which has contributed significantly to the economic success of the company. Long-term, partnerships with customers and suppliers, reliable adherence to and improvement of our quality standards at fair market prices, as well as resource-conserving production in compliance with hygiene and safety standards are key. We count on competent, committed employees. A flat hierarchy and open communication enables a good exchange of information among all company divisions and thus short reaction paths and fast decisions. We promote the continuous improvement of our employees with extensive training and qualification offerings.
MACHINERY & PRODUCTION
Our production runs on five cast extrusion lines. We manufacture rolls of film up to 800 mm in diameter and with running lengths up to 16,000 metres in thicknesses from 25 to 75 μm, in various widths up to 2080 mm. Depending on the intended use, these films have one to seven layers, can be sterilized, frozen and/or laminated, equipped with anti-fog protection, pre-treated for printing and, depending on the customer's requirements, have different degrees of transparency, weldability, smoothness, tear resistance, and stability.
EXPERT QUALIFICATIONS
"Granules go in, film comes out!" It's not quite that simple. For the film to be right for its intended purpose requires the knowledge that comes with expertise and experience. Our well-trained team of around 30 employees manufactures, checks, and ensures the quality of the film, advises our customers on the selection of the appropriate type of film, and develops the appropriate formulas for production. The good processability of the films and their properties in relation to the packaged end product depend on numerous parameters. GEFO has developed several successful standard formulas for this purpose. Since the systems for further processing and the requirements of our customers are constantly evolving, we continuously adapt our formulas to these needs.
GEFO will supply the right film for your product!
