Alufix

What Alufix does

Alufix is an Austrian heritage brand founded in 1963 that manufactures and distributes kitchen film and packaging products, including aluminum foil, baking paper, cling film, food contact bags, and garbage bags. Following acquisition by Biosphere Corporation in 2022, the company operates from Vienna with an automated 7,000m2 production facility in Fagaras, Romania, an in-house Polygreen recycling plant that processes up to 800 tons of post-consumer polymer per month, and wholly-owned sales subsidiaries in Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland. The portfolio spans 130+ SKUs across two customer segments — household consumers and HoReCa professional kitchens — and includes differentiated sub-brands such as Green Nature (sustainable), ALUFlexy (diamond-structured garbage bags), and Elastic FIX (elastic-band bags).

The company's product technology combines polyethylene, PVC, aluminum, and cellulose-based materials, with proprietary design features including the ALUFlexy dual-layer diamond film structure, the Fix-Cut dispenser system on cling film, and perforated grill plates. Sustainability positioning is anchored by the Polygreen recycling plant and quantified claims: at least 80% recycled plastic in garbage bags, 98% recycled material in Green Nature aluminum foil and containers, 100% unbleached compostable Green Nature baking paper, and 60% renewable raw materials in Green Nature cling film.

Alufix sells through retail chains (Carrefour, Auchan, Spar, Billa, Aldi, Hofer, Lidl, DM, Rossmann, REWE), discounters, online grocers (Rohlik, Sezamo, Wolt), and METRO Cash & Carry for the HoReCa channel, across 21 European countries. Pricing follows a unit-pricing, pay-as-you-go model with no subscription or licensing layer. Brand credibility is reinforced through five named chef ambassadors, Gault&Millau partnership in Austria and Czech Republic, Falstaff editorial coverage, and the 2024 Red Dot Best of the Best design award.
