Polyopt Relaunches as a Key European Hub for Specialty BOPP Film Production

The  film manufacturing  site  formerly known  as  Treofan  has  been  officially  relaunched  under  its  new  name,  Polyopt,  marking  a 
renewed chapter for one of Europe’s most established producers of specialty BOPP films. The relaunch follows AGP Holdco’s strategic investment and assumption of full operational control, enabling a comprehensive transformation program aimed at strengthening supply reliability and accelerating innovation across Europe’s specialty film markets.  

With decades of industrial heritage, the Polyopt site based in Neunkirchen, Germany, remains a cornerstone of the European specialty films landscape. Under its new direction, the company is  focused  on  revitalizing  production  assets,  reinforcing  its  technical  portfolio,  and  ensuring long-term competitiveness in high-value segments.  

The transformation roadmap places particular emphasis on enhancing operational stability, revitalizing  the  capacitors  film  segment—an increasingly critical component of Europe’s industrial  supply  chain—and strengthening the site’s established expertise in flexible
packaging.  A  renewed  commitment  to  service,  responsiveness,  and  collaboration  aims  to reinforce  customer  confidence  and  support  the  shift  toward  more  specialized,  higher-value applications.  

“Polyopt represents a new beginning for this historic site,” said Dr. Detlef Schuhmann, CEO  of  Al  Ghurair  Petrochemicals. “We have strong confidence in the knowledge and commitment of the Polyopt team. This relaunch goes beyond upgrading equipment—it is about 
re-establishing a culture of excellence and empowering people to shape the site’s next phase.”  

As  part  of  the  Al Ghurair Group,  which  also  owns  Taghleef  Industries,  one  of  the  leading producers of flexible films, Polyopt and Taghleef Industries will operate as sister companies.
