EcoCortec®, the European subsidiary of Cortec® Corporation and a leading manufacturer of sustainable corrosion protection packaging, is excited to announce the launch of a new logistic center building project. New facility will be connected with existing facilities to form a unified, highly efficient storage and logistics hub. This strategic expansion is a direct response to increased stock volumes and growing sales, demonstrating the company’s commitment to meeting the rising demand for its eco-friendly corrosion protection solutions.   

The project, which recently began, involves acquiring two nearby buildings. They will be connected to form a single, cohesive central logistic center and warehouse. This integrated facility will store both finished products and raw materials, which will significantly optimize EcoCortec’s inventory management and logistical operations. New logistic center is expected to be fully operational within the next year. “We are incredibly excited about this expansion, which marks a significant milestone for our plant,” said Boris Miksic, CEO of Cortec® Corporation. 

New logistic center will not only enhance our operational efficiency and capacity but also provide critical support to our production plant by ensuring a consistent and organized flow of raw materials and finished goods. We have made many investments in EcoCortec® over the past 15 years with the goal of continuously improving our services. However, we not only want to be the best provider of green anti corrosion packaging for our clients; we also want to provide our service in the most sustainable way possible. “ 

EcoCortec® has demonstrated remarkable growth since its opening in 2007. Established with a vision for sustainable corrosion protection, the company quickly emerged as one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of anti-corrosion packaging. This success has been driven by continuous innovation of corrosion protection solutions and a quick responsiveness to market demand. The plant offers various types of sustainable VCI/VpCI films and papers including stretch and shrink films, ESD packaging, bio-based compostable packaging and more. Specialized bags such as large 3D bags, resealable bubble bags are also available. Many packaging solutions are available in PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) versions.

Throughout the years, Croatian plant has consistently expanded its manufacturing capabilities, including the completion of two new production facilities in 2022: a polymer processing facility and a regranulation facility, where the plant’s waste materials are recycled. “Our commitment to the circular economy is evident in every step we take. We pioneered European-wide initiative for collecting and recycling used films, integrating up to 30 percent recycled content into new products.” says Miksic.

The consolidation of inventory in a larger, more efficient space will enable Croatian plant to further optimize its supply chain, reduce lead times, and support future growth as the demand for sustainable packaging solutions continues to accelerate. The proximity of the new logistic center to the EcoCortec® plant will enable even greater synergy between manufacturing and distribution. This latest expansion, along with a growing team and strong export focus across Europe, Asia, and the USA, highlights EcoCortec’s journey from a new facility to a recognized leader in  VCI packaging.
