Perlen Packaging's events

The CPH Group has checked its IT systems after the cyber attack and restored them with its own resources. Production should resume at the affected sites worldwide no later than in the course of Thursday, 13 January 2022.

Due to a cyber attack during the night of 7 January 2022, the IT systems of the CPH Group worldwide were immediately shut down in a controlled manner. The necessary measures to protect the IT infrastructure were initiated.

2021 was a very special year and required great solidarity, a sense of responsibility and consideration for our fellow human beings from all of us. This year, Perlen Packaging is once again supporting the Titlisblick children's home in Lucerne with its traditional Christmas donation.

The internationally active company headquartered in Perlen, Switzerland, took the opportunity of a customer survey to do good for the environment.

Thanks to all our agents & partners around the world, who participated in last week's Online-Agent Meeting. We really did appreciate the exchange and the high number of attendees!

Marc Haller has been appointed as the new head of the CPH Group’s Packaging Division. He succeeds Wolfgang Grimm, who will retire in spring 2022 after 24 successful years as Head of Packaging and a member of CPH Group Executive Management. Marc Haller was most recently General Manager of Sulzer Mixpac AG and a member of the Sulzer Management Group.

The increasing demand for sustainable packaging has been occupying our team for a long time. Topics such as a functioning circular economy, recyclability and alternative films to our PVC and PVdC range are increasingly in focus.

The CPH Group raised its first-half net sales by 5.1% in 2021 to CHF 243.7 million. The Chemistry and the Packaging divisions performed on-track, while the Paper Division felt the impact of higher raw materials costs. Group EBIT declined as expected to CHF 5.7 million. The first-half net result amounted to CHF 5.9 million.

We are very proud to announce that now all our PERLALUX® main product groups (Mono PVC, Duplex PVC/PVdC, Tristar PVC/PE/PVdC) from our plants in China, Switzerland and Germany have obtained “Revision A” status on CDE's online platform and can be viewed under www.cde.org.cn. As the only foreign company manufacturing pharma grade blister films in China, we are well positioned to supply this growing and demanding market.
