According to the Infiana Group, a German producer of engineered and innovative films, the first quarter of 2014, following the company's name change was successful.
“Infiana has seen a significant increase in sales in the first three months of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 in the consumer, industrial and pressure sensitive market segments,” a press release informed.
"This increase is a great success for us all, and shows that Infiana, as an independent group, remains focused on growth," CEO Peter Wahsner stated.
“This positive trend could also be seen at the first two trade show appearances of Infiana Group in March, one at ICE Europe in Munich and the other JEC Paris,” the press release said.
"We have consistently received positive feedback, in particular from the international audience," Sven Bernhard, vice president sales (EMEA) at Infiana revealed.
With more than 7,000 visitors from 71 countries, ICE Europe, a trade fair for refining and processing of paper, film and foil, saw a visitor increase of seven per cent compared to the previous year.
"In addition to Infiana's new appearance, customers and visitors were particularly interested in our technologically advanced product portfolio in the field of Release Liners and siliconized films." Bernhard added.
“At JEC in Paris, Infiana exhibited the FlexPlas release film in cooperation with the Fraunhofer IFAM and we are very satisfied with the result," Soheila Schneider, project manager of FlexPlas also said.
Visitors from the aerospace, wind energy and automotive industries were interested in FlexPlas which makes use of traditional release agents in the production of fibre-reinforced plastics (FRP).
JEC too is considered a leading trade fair in the field of composite materials and saw over 36,000 visitors, up 13 per cent as against the previous edition.
