History
For over ten years, Scanfill has worked purposefully to deliver world-class packaging materials, while at the same time succeeding with the world’s challenging demands for both sustainability and the environment.
2006
Customers began asking the Polykemi Group for mineral-filled PP for packaging. Curious as we are, we started a project called Scanfill.
2008
Scanfill AB was founded. At this point of time, the objective was to produce granules.
2010
As we all know, the future brings changes and suddenly our first foil extruder was installed. It was a test machine, in order to be able to deliver foil rolls to customers for small-scale tests.
2014
Sales of foil material took off as we installed and put our second foil extruder to work. Today 95 % of our sales consist of foil material.
2017
Time to level up. We upgraded our first foil extruder, enabling the production of EVOH and 7-layer structure foil production.
2018
We celebrated the 10th anniversary of Scanfill! Also, we installed a new granule extruder, one with twice the capacity compared to our existing one, to match the large demand for materials.
2019
Growing continues. We installed our third foil extruder which has a capacity for 7-layer structure production, with the possibility of reorganizing the layer structure for further development of our foil. The investment will streamline production being lar ge enough to produce double width with double rolling stations.
2020
Acquisition of JiHå Plast, which doubled the number of film extruders and we could complement our fine lab with a full-scale Kiefel thermoformer. The possibility of producing PS and PET was also made with these new machines, which expanded the material program.
2021
Further expanded opportunities. By installing a full-scale thermoforming machine, our prototype lab gained possibilities to further test materials and prototypes.
2022
Welcome Materialsmart! Our CO2 calculator knocks the industry over when presenting detailed calculations on the amount of CO2 emitted per kilogram produced Scanfill material.
2023
Boosted capacity. By investing in larger and more complex material handling equipment, we increased our all-round capacity for managing recycled material.
