The expansion represents work that was originally planned for 2007, which has been advanced in response to ZeonorFilm rapidly increased sales volume since early 2005, when the second phase of production capacity expansion was completed. While annual production capacity for base film will be increased to approximately 430 million square feet, the annual production of new ZeonorFilm will be expanded to approximately 322 million square feet.
