Shiner will begin full production on its new tobacco film line in the fourth quarter of 2011, and has chosen Treofan as a technology partner to strengthen its position in the Chinese tobacco film market.

Meanwhile, Treofan's know-how will allow Shiner to produce advanced tobacco films on its new 6.4 m Brueckner line. Together, Treofan and Shiner will have a total joint tobacco film capacity of 45,000 tonnes/year.

Treofan operates 4 plants, located in Germany, Italy and Mexico; Shiner is engaged in R&D, manufacture and sale of flexible packaging material and Alliance Packaging is a distributor.
