Carla Pater's Company Details
Back in the days when most products were sold from bulk, LPF (Leeuwarder Papierwaren Fabriek) started producing paper bags in 1907. Market leaders soon wanted their brand printed on the packaging; LPF was the first rotogravure printer in the Netherlands and engraved her own cylinders. Factories started packaging products themselves and as new machines were developed, LPF supplied both printed bags and reels for coffee, tea, tobacco, cigars, flour, bakery products and household articles. Customers requests for longer shelf life were answered with progressive laminating techniques (with aluminium).The packaging evolution continued to move to plastic films, with LPF standing at the forefront of new developments: coldseal, release lacquer, hotmelt and wax coatings, Easy Opening by Laser®, high barrier protection of nature's products.Following the acquisition of LPF by Clondalkin Group in 2001, plans were made to move LPF out of the city center of Leeuwarden. A new factory was built in Grootegast (where Clondalkin Group had a production site) and LPF was relocated in 2005. At this location the 100 year anniversary was celebrated with the slogan "Serving you with pride for more than 100 years!"Our visionOur vision for the company is to be recognized as the most successful flexible packaging company in our chosen market sectors.This means that we aim to generate the highest level of satisfaction from our customers, optimize returns to our shareholders, provide safe working conditions and rewarding opportunities for our employees, and in general give back to the communities where we are privileged to operate.
