Producer
Eurofoil
Luxembourg-based thin aluminum foil producer; acquired three Novelis European foil plants in July 2012 when Novelis exited thin foil to focus on beverage cans and automotive. Operates in Dudelange (Luxembourg) — rolling from 5.5 µm upward — Rugles (France), and Berlin (Germany, cigarette foil laminating). Eurofoil is a primary substrate supplier to European food and pharmaceutical converters; explicitly confirms dead-fold capability for wrapper applications including cheese and butter.

Did you know2024
Eurofoil simultaneously supplies aluminum foil substrate to three industries with completely different regulatory, safety, and ethical frameworks: (1) food packaging — Eurofoil's Dudelange Luxembourg plant produces dead-fold foil for European butter and cheese wrapping, subject to EU food contact regulations; (2) pharmaceutical packaging — Eurofoil's Rugles France plant produces pharmaceutical-grade blister and cold-form foil substrate, subject to EU pharmaceutical GMP requirements; and (3) tobacco packaging — Eurofoil's Berlin plant laminates the aluminum inner liner of cigarette packs, subject to EU tobacco product regulations. A single Luxembourg-headquartered foil company applies the same aluminum rolling technology to protect a French butter block, package pharmaceutical pills, and line a cigarette pack — three applications where the EU regulatory philosophy (food safety, pharmaceutical quality, tobacco harm reduction) diverges dramatically, yet the physical material (thin aluminum foil) is essentially the same substrate at different thicknesses and tolerances.
Eurofoil ↗Origin2023
Eurofoil was created in July 2012 when Novelis Inc. (the Hindalco subsidiary that is the world's largest aluminum rolling company) divested three European thin foil plants — Dudelange (Luxembourg), Rugles (France), and Berlin (Germany) — to a Luxembourg-based buyer. Novelis's strategic rationale was to concentrate on higher-value beverage can sheet and automotive aluminum, exiting the thinner-margin thin foil segment. The three acquired plants were among Alcan's (Novelis predecessor) original European foil operations. Eurofoil's Luxembourg holding company structure reflects the typical private equity-adjacent industrial holding pattern for mid-size European industrial companies acquired from major corporate divestitures. The Berlin facility's cigarette foil laminating specialization serves the tobacco industry — a customer segment that Novelis, with its ESG profile under scrutiny, may have been willing to exit as part of its divestiture rationale.
