Fucine Film

What Fucine Film does

Fucine Film S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer of rigid plastic films engineered for thermoforming applications, headquartered in Fucine di Ossana (Trentino), operating from a 14,000 m² industrial facility with an annual production capacity of approximately 18,000 tons. The company's product portfolio spans monolayer and multilayer films in PVC, PET, PP, and PLA polymers, structured around three end-use verticals: food packaging (the primary segment, including MAP, vacuum, frozen, microwaveable, and skin applications with EVOH barrier and peelable seal layers), medical-device packaging (sterilization-compatible PVC films), and industrial applications (rigid films for thermoformed components and decorative/constructive use, including metallized and flocked variants).

Production is carried out on an integrated manufacturing stack comprising two PVC four-cylinder calendering lines (1700mm and 2200mm roll widths, handling 100-950 µm films), a sheet extrusion line for PET/PP/PLA up to 1.5mm thick and 1420mm wide, a vacuum metallizer (high-vacuum sublimation at 4E-6 Pa, up to 1500mm width), and five slitters plus a doctor machine. In-line processing includes corona treatment, thermo lamination, silicon bath, coil cutting, and integrated quality inspection via camera, metal detector, and X-ray/beta-ray gauge detectors. The slitting lines are Industry 4.0-compliant with automated parameter control, precision winding, and robotic handling, packaging, and palletizing.

The business model is sales-led B2B, with the company explicitly positioning itself as a "competent and flexible partner" rather than a transactional supplier, providing tailor-made specifications in quote-based pricing to industrial customers across food, medical, and industrial packaging. Fucine Film is privately held (Società per Azioni) and operates within a corporate group alongside Eriplast (flexible films, since 1985) and Albertazzi (lamination and printing converting, 80+ years). Quality and compliance are core to the value proposition, with BRC Packaging AA-level certification (maintained since 2004), ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, IQNET, and IIP plastics certifications supporting access to regulated food-contact and medical-device supply chains. No revenue, funding, or M&A data is disclosed.

Core offering

Fucine Film manufactures rigid plastic films in PVC, PET, PP, and PLA polymers — supplied as monolayer, multilayer (with EVOH barrier, peelable and reclosable sealing layers), and metallized variants — for thermoforming into food containers, medical device packaging, and industrial/decorative components. Films are sold directly to industrial customers with tailor-made specifications and are produced on integrated calendering, sheet extrusion, vacuum metallizing, and slitting assets.

Product overview

Fucine Film is a rigid plastic film manufacturer specializing in thermoforming applications across three sectors: food packaging (PVC, PET, PP, PLA monolayer and multilayer films with barrier, peelable, and metallized options), medical devices (PVC films for sterilization-compatible containers), and industrial applications (PVC-PET films including metallized and flocked variants). The company operates sheet extrusion, PVC calendering, vacuum metallizing, and slitting manufacturing technologies, producing approximately 18,000 tons of film annually from their 14,000 m² facility in northern Italy.
