Service‑Driven Solutions and Concrete Investments in a Demanding Chinese Market
Chinaplas 2026, the International Exhibition on Plastics and Rubber Industries, once again underlined that, despite challenging global economic conditions and intense local competition, the Chinese Biax market remains highly active and investment‑driven.
At the same time, the film market in China is becoming increasingly demanding, both technologically and economically. Wherever efficiency, performance and process reliability are critical, expectations towards fast service response, reliable lifecycle solutions and local availability are rising.
Against this backdrop, Chinaplas clearly highlighted the importance of close proximity to customers, deep process know‑how and localized capabilities along the entire lifecycle of film stretching lines.
At the exhibition, Brückner Servtec addressed this market development by presenting three core service offerings designed to support existing BOPP and BOPET lines:
- Local spare parts availability through a bonded warehouse in Shanghai
- Domestic Clip & Chain overhaul services provided by Brückner Group China
- Modular line upgrades that enhance performance and capabilities without the need to invest in a completely new film stretching line
The strong relevance of these solutions for the Chinese market became particularly evident at Chinaplas, where customer demand directly translated into concrete investment decisions by long‑standing customers.
Strengthened partnerships with leading film manufacturers
One of the highlights of the exhibition were two contract signings with leading Chinese BOPP and BOPET film producers, further strengthening long-term partnerships in terms of speciality films and sustainable film production.
These investment decisions reflect a clear strategic direction: improving efficiency, sustainability and competitiveness on existing film stretching lines. We highly value the trust both customers place in us and are committed to delivering solutions that create long-term value for their operations.
Overall, Chinaplas 2026 once again confirmed its role as one of the most important global platforms for the plastics and rubber industry, setting strong impulses for service-driven solutions, upgrades, and sustainable film production concepts.
We would like to thank all customers, partners, and business friends for the many visits and the open, insightful discussions throughout the exhibition.
