4 COMPANY OUR BELIEFS AND VALUES QUALITY At BUERGO.FOL, we pride ourselves in only providing products of outstanding quality to our customers that not only meet but often excel customer expectations and needs. Over the last 40 years our unique combination of using only highest quality raw materials, cutting-edge research and state-of the art production facilities has made us a trusted brand as a supplier of barrier films to many branches of industry especially the pharmaceuticals, food, non-food and converting industries. This longstanding business relationship has given us the expertise to help our customers meet their specific needs e.g. production under the very high hygiene standards compliant with HACCP and BRC/IoP. However, we believe that there is more to quality than producing outstanding products: True quality means taking seriously our responsibility to our customers as well as to the environment and the societies we live in.

5 COMPANY OUR BELIEFS AND VALUES INNOVATION Our people are our most valuable asset! It is only through the motivation, dedication and competence of our staff that we achieve the high level of quality and innovation that our company is known for. Hence, we invest in recruiting highly-skilled staff and provide our employees with a working environment allowing them to maximise their personal potential and development. Be it in our research labs or production facilities, we always strive to implement the highest safety standards in working areas. How much we value our staff is also reflected in our leadership philosophy: Successful leadership depends on a strong base of credibility, trust and mutual respect. We take seriously the concerns and potential of our staff and are rewarded by them with loyalty to and identification with our company. This has allowed us to meet and even excel customer expectations, time after time, over the last 40 years.

6 COMPANY OUR BELIEFS AND VALUES RESPONSIBILITY As a modern company we believe we are responsible not only to our customers and employees but also to the environment we inhabit and the societies we live in. Economic and environmental sustainability are ever increasingly important, hence we put a strong emphasis on responsible use of raw materials, waste minimisation and energy efficiency throughout our manufacturing processes. We constantly push boundaries in the development of thinner and more recyclable films helping our customers reduce shipping costs and hence their company carbon footprints. This way, we contribute more than empty words to the debate on corporate responsibility in a world characterised by increasing resource scarcity, economic uncertainty and environmental fragility. Siegenburg, March 2012 Gregor Schleicher Director

12 COMPANY RESEARCH / DEVELOPMENT / OPTIMISATION In this time of rapid technological diversification and specialisation it is essential for a successful company to stay at the very cutting edge of technology in order to reliably provide customers with the optimal, most innovative and effective solutions. Hence at BUERGO.FOL we put a strong emphasis on Research and Development as one of the core competencies of our company. We particularly focus on the development of novel film compositions tailored to the specific requirements of our customers and the constant optimisation of existing products to meet our customers requirements reliably day after day. Upon request, we offer you customized film recipes specifically adapted to YOUR needs based using state-of-the-art manufacturing procedures and raw materials.

13 COMPANY STANDARDS AND QUALITY Our qualified staff receive regular training and are the guarantee for reliable handling and processing of top-quality raw materials (approved by FDA and BGA). Product design and strict controls ensure both the quality and reliability of our films. Our quality management system DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 is in conformance with international requirements. Additionally, we are certified in compliance with BRC/loP Global Standard Version 4, ISO and HACCP (EC Regulation No ).

14 COMPANY SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENT In the modern urbanised world, packaging is a ubiquitous part of our everyday life as well as of almost all branches of business and industry. In view of this large and increasing demand for packaging solutions we believe that ecological as well as economic sustainability is at the core of responsible modern film production. At BUERGO.FOL we do our part to ensure the highest standard of economic and ecological sustainability in the production of our products. Improvements include: OPTIMIZED MANUFACTURING PROCESS We use state-of-the-art manufacturing technology which enables us to produce significantly thinner films while maintaining consistent quality standards. This way we dramatically reduce production waste and lower shipping costs as well as recycling fees (Grüner Punkt).

15 COMPANY SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENT We also make use of advanced heat recovery technology where energy potential and energy flux are retained and renewed sustainably. This makes our manufacturing process particularly energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. MORE EFFICIENT TRANSPORT Our thinner films can be stacked in a highly space-efficient manner allowing more goods to be stocked and transported per unit space which reduces shipping costs as well as the carbon footprint of the transport process. RECYCLABLE RAW MATERIALS We use only raw materials which can be recycled ecologically.

16 APPLICATIONS FOODSTUFFS TECHNICAL APPLICATIONS MEDICAL PRODUCTS PET FOOD CHEMICAL INDUSTRY SPECIAL APPLICATIONS

17 APPLICATIONS FOODSTUFFS Films from the BUERGO.FLEX product portfolio are especially suitable for the packaging of food, as they offer highest standards in reliable food protection and hygiene. They are characterized by a high degree of bonding strength and therefore are the first choice for aggressive products, such as spices. Even under critical packaging conditions these foils retain their excellent mechanical and sealing properties. Furthermore BUERGO.PET rigid films are excellent for foodstuffs due to their outstanding thermoforming properties and transparency. The films are highly versatile and possible areas of use include: Dairy products Fruit / Vegetables / Salad Cold Cuts / Meat / Fish Baked goods / Sweets / Snacks Convenience Food Depending on the packaging requirements the films can also be designed with special customized properties, such as anti-fog, high hot-tack or easy peel features.

18 APPLICATIONS TECHNICAL APPLICATIONS For various specialized technical applications we offer numerous heavy-duty films and film systems to meet the specific and diverse needs of our customers. In addition to our versatile standard BUERGO.FLEX products we offer specially designed long-life packaging or process films for the electronics industry. The rigid films of the BUERGO.PET range are ideally suited for packaging technical products since their high dimensional stability provides excellent protection against damage.

19 APPLICATIONS MEDICAL PRODUCTS / PHARMACEUTICALS Functional films with special properties are in high demand in both the field of medical technology and hygiene. We meet these needs by providing several products tailored to the pharmaceutical industry: Functional film Therapy Functional film Application Storage and bulk containers Disposable packaging, etc.

20 APPLICATIONS PET FOOD Since pet food is often purchased in bulk quantities, the packaging must guarantee the freshness and shelf life for as long as possible. When packaging dry or wet food, a combination of different materials and film properties is available. Depending on the requirements, materials can be mixed and matched as lined out below: Materials: flexible films with 3 to 14 layers rigid films Film properties: high hot-tack antifog easy peel safety peel UV blocker large sealing window higher mechanical resistance suitability for pasteurisation, boiling and sterilization We can produce many different types, from the smallest package to the largest.

21 APPLICATIONS CHEMICAL INDUSTRY Particularly strict packaging regulations apply in the chemical industry, as substances can be harmful to the environment or need to be protected from oxidation by the air. The packaging materials used must meet the highest quality standards in order to protect man and the environment against harmful substances. Using customized recipes, we can combine several materials to produce the extra-safe packaging you need for the storage of harmful or sensitive substances and liquids.

22 APPLICATIONS SPECIAL APPLICATIONS We develop tailor-made solutions for special applications: Automotive industry, e.g. moulding and insulating systems Construction industry, e.g. barrier systems against gases and moisture Coating industry, e.g. backing films for foam applications
