Still thinking in terms of price per ton?
The conventional wisdom is missing the point.
What really counts is the price per sack.
Why?
The heaviest sack is not necessarily the toughest and strongest.
Raw material costs are on the rise, but so is the savings potential available through technology and better materials. The quality of the end product determines the strength achievable from a given material.
Lower sack weight and equal quality means more profitability: The lighter the sack (grams per sack) needed to achieve the required properties (strength and protection), the higher the profit for the sack producer.
First-rate technology has a price – and a value:
High return on investment offsets the cost difference between a plant from Starlinger and one from a competitor. The extra investment pays for itself within 2.8 years.
So when it comes to profit potential, Starlinger technology offers much more than its competitors.
