Intedat editorial summary

The Intedat editorial summary complements publicly verifiable facts with additional business and industry context.

From a business point of view, TATRAFAN, s.r.o. is a company with two faces. Under the TATRAFAN FILM brand it acts as a supplier of BOPP packaging films, under the TATRAFAN ENVIRO brand as a processor of plastic waste and a manufacturer of products made from recyclates. Both parts stem from the same industrial background in Svit and from the CHEMOSVIT group.

The fundamental change of recent years is the end of the company’s own film production in Slovakia in 2021. According to its own information, the company continues to supply films to customers, but the production itself takes place in partner plants in Ukraine and Bulgaria. For buyers this means that in this area TATRAFAN acts primarily as a commercial and technical partner with application knowledge, not as a local manufacturer.

The ENVIRO division, by contrast, is built on its own operations in Svit and on the link to the CHEMOSVIT group. Most of the input waste comes from companies within the group, which allows the company to offer recyclates with a known and documented origin; the quality of the regranulate depends precisely on the purity and homogeneity of the input material.

The combination of recycling, injection moulding and wooden packaging production gives the company the shape of an internal supplier of packaging and handling solutions for the industrial site in Svit, which at the same time offers part of its capacity and services to external customers.

Main products and business areas

A structured overview of the product categories and services publicly presented by TATRAFAN, s.r.o. on its websites.

Films for packaging tobacco products

Films for packaging tobacco products

The company offers films for the tobacco industry so as to ensure the strength of the packaging, an excellent appearance of the product and sufficient barrier properties. The range includes standard films, heat-shrinkable films, highly shrinkable films, films with a low sealing temperature, printable films and thin films. By application the company divides them into the less shrinkable SOFT PACK for soft packs, the medium to highly shrinkable HARD PACK for hard packs, BUNDLE WRAP for multipacks of cigarettes in paper or cardboard wrapping, CLEAR WRAP for multipacks without an underlying paper and PRINTABLE FILM intended for printing during promotional campaigns.

Films for food packaging

Films for food packaging

According to the company, BOPP films are the most widely used type of packaging for food; unprinted and uncoated polypropylene films contain no hazardous substances and are approved for contact with food. The types offered are divided by application: film for fresh food stays transparent and extends shelf life, film for confectionery and bakery products is suitable for high-speed packaging and requires a low sealing temperature, film for ice cream has a high yield and protects against light, film for salty snacks and dried food protects against moisture and oxygen, film for labels has high gloss and high yield, and film for cardboard overwraps excels in visual properties and perfect wrapping.

Films for other applications

Films for other applications

The company’s films are also used for packaging other products whose packaging requires macroperforation or microperforation. As separate applications the website lists bitumen separators and the packaging of flowers and gifts.

Plastics recycling, agglomerates and regranulates

Plastics recycling, agglomerates and regranulates

Recycling focuses mainly on the agglomeration and regranulation of film waste based on polypropylene and polyethylene, or of combined plastic films from the production of companies in the CHEMOSVIT group. The company also processes selected types of plastic waste purchased from external suppliers, fibre waste from the production of polypropylene fibres and block waste from the start-up of film and fibre production. The catalogue contains agglomerates and dozens of types of regranulates from PP, PE, ABS and their combinations in both natural and coloured versions.

Injection moulding of technical parts and packaging systems

Injection moulding of technical parts and packaging systems

In the field of injection moulding the company states that it uses technologies unique within its region of operation. It produces technical mouldings weighing from 10 g to 23 kg, using recyclates from its own production as well as virgin granulates. Alongside individual mouldings it also supplies complete packaging systems; the catalogue includes plates 15 and 20 mm thick, pins for cores, protective end caps of various dimensions, cylindrical cores and plugs.

Waste collection, purchasing and storage

Waste collection, purchasing and storage
