nir-vana innovation network

The company, located in western Romania, closely to the Hungarian border, is capitalizing nine years of experience in providing complete packaging solutions from corrugated cardboard to surface protection packages (bags and protective films) or packaging that provides mechanical protection (expanded polyethylene).
The company specializes in the manufacture of polyethylene parts, the main markets of this product being automotive, electronics, medical, aeronautics, mechanical processing and others.
The production area and warehouse cover over 3,200 sqms, equipped with modern machines. Last year, the company benefited from European funds, modern equipment of over 230,000 euro being purchased on a project financed under the Regional Operational Program 2014-2020.
The company invests consistently in research and innovation, offering customers integrated solutions (analysis, consulting, design, prototyping, execution, labeling, storage and delivery). These will give the customer's supply chain simplicity, a precious asset in the complex production system.
The versatility of the equipment will allow for the diversification of the offered products for continuous adaptation to the market.

• Technological processes:

Hot & cold lamination - Exploring their innovation potential, the company has installed in house capacities of hot and cold laminating (they apply: foam and non-woven films to a vast range of cardboard and plastic sheets).

Kitting & assembling - The kitting & assembly competence include cardboard & plastic dividers assembly, stitching to wood, bracing, but also construction of complex crates made out of plywood, OSB (Oriented strand board ), cardboard and more.

Die cutting - With more than 5 dieing machines (both hydraulic and mechanical), the company may die cut a complete list of specifications, be it high-densities or big/small material thicknesses.

CNC Services – The CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines are able to cut and mill large formats (2m x 4m) without prior preparation.

Modular box-maker - With less than 60 seconds set-up time, large size capacity, and more than 50 FEFCO (The European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers) typologies, the modular box-maker responds rapidly to a vast range of projects, from standard American boxes to heavy duty pallet sized boxes and covers.
