COMPANY PRESENTATION
Unrivalled know-how at the
service of our clients
Can one be passionate about PET film?
We at Coveme believe so, because this is simply what 40 years of engineering
polyester has taught us. We treat, coat, heat-stabilize and laminate PET for a
wide range of applications, and are proud to know that our materials give a vital
contribution “behind the scenes” to the most technically advanced devices in
everyday life. Over the years every challenge brought to us by our clients and
potential clients, from all over the world, has contributed to the growth of our
know-how and forced us to find the most innovative solutions.
So thanks to all our customers, and welcome to the new ones that want to put
us to the test!

Coveme 5 Pillars
• Product and process innovation are at the heart of Coveme’s activities
and fundamentals for the development of new products for highly technological industries of rapid growth and continuous evolution.
• In this context, the strong partnerships with our clients and suppliers are
of utmost importance and vital for a successful common growth.
• The entrepreneurial mindset, sagaciousness and know-how
gained through the years have led Coveme to be the first European company in its field, to open a manufacturing plant in China.
• Our concern for the protection of the environment is reflected
not only in what we produce but also how we produce, which means a lean and green production technology and relationship with our partners.
• The reliability of Coveme, guaranteed by high quality standards and
rigorous control, is the promise we keep to our clients.
The value of innovation
Innovation needs sound foundations in order to become a tangible value for our clients:
SUSTAINABILITY
QUALITY TECHNOLOGY
Quality Coveme’s R&D activites and manufacturing processes are completely focused
on high quality for high performance. For us, this means strict and consistent
adherence to measurable and verifiable standards to achieve uniformity of
output that satisfies specific customer requirements.
Technology
Coveme has been converting polyester film for over 20 years and has successfully
developed sophisticated technologies in the production of high-tech films for various
industries. The value Coveme adds to the film is vital for its clients who, themselves,
work with advanced production processes.
Coveme has two production sites, one in Gorizia, Italy, and one in Zhangjiagang, China.
The 8 production lines installed are set up for the following converting processes:
lamination, surface treatment, heat stabilization, coating and
slitting

Sustainability
Green production In the two production sites Coveme
works by adopting measures to
protect the
environment:
• Emission treatment
• Storage of chemicals
• Waste disposal
• Pest control procedure
• Optimization of energy resources
• RoHS and REACH compliance
Coveme is ISO 14001 certified
Carbon Footprint Coveme is currently investing in
balancing its Carbon footprint through 3
types of actions:
• In 2010, 100kW of solar panels have been installed on the roof of Coveme’s headquarters in Bologna.
• In June 2012, 158kw of photovoltaic modules will be installed on the rooftop of Coveme's Gorizia plant.
• Coveme is sponsoring "The Million Tree Project" : the project aims to plant one million trees in Inner Mongolia by 2014.
The two production sites of Coveme work in accordance with the latest standards
protecting the environment. Our goal is to control and optimize the energetic
consumption of our production processes, the storage of our base materials and
the waste handling.
Our business units
PHOTOVOLTAIC
Today Coveme is the global leader in the
manufacturing and development of backsheets
based on high grade Pet, and the dyMat PYE®
range is the most sold backsheet worldwide.
dyMat PYE® is a high performance backsheet that
guarantees a long-lasting quality of a photovoltaic
module. It protects the solar cells from humidity,
harsh physical and chemical environments, and
guarantees total electrical insulation.
FLEXIBLE
CIRCUITRY
"Roll to Roll" and "Sheet to Sheet" printing
systems in the field of flexible circuitry require
a support that guarantees planarity and
dimensional stability as well as high adhesion
with conductive inks with the highest
conductivity.
Coveme meets these requirements with a
range of treated and heat stabilized polyester
films, ideal for high speed printing.
BIOMEDICAL
Coveme supplies some of the most important
multinational companies operating in the field
of biomedical diagnostics with polyester films
on which the reaction elements of chemical or
electronic analysis can be applied.
The range of products includes substrates
printable with conductive inks and enzymatic
pastes, gold-sputtered and hydrophilic layers,
besides other customized materials.
TRANSFER RELEASE
Coveme’s range of release coated polyester films for
the heat transfer of images onto fabrics are
environmental friendly, heat stabilized and in-line
treated. There are versions for CAD lettering, silk
screen, off-set of flexo printing, flock and casting of
PVC or polyuretane (PU). The product range
includes heat stabilized and treated polyester films
for both hot and cold transfer application, with
opaque or glossy finish.
ELECTRICAL
INSULATION
In the field of electrical insulation Coveme started in
the early '70s as a distributor for DuPont Nomex®
and Kapton®. The tight collaboration of the two
companies led Coveme to develop the production of
own technologically advanced materials for the
insulation of electrical machines (rotating and
static) that require maximum performance in a small
space and under high temperatures.
FLEXIBLE
PACKAGING
The product range offered by Coveme for the
flexible packaging market consists of products
based on polyester film (Pet) and Nylon that are
used in food packaging and the medical and
luxury industry. Coveme materials are also
available in metallized version.
HIGH
PERFORMANCE
FACESTOCK Coveme has successfully introduced specific
materials resistant to solvents, water, mechanical
abrasion and high temperature. Thanks to a
special coating, Coveme films can be printed
with laser, thermal transfer and ink jet printing
technologies and are compatible with a vast
range of inks, both in black, white and colour.
Furthermore, the process of in line heat-
stabilization of the film guarantees a high
planarity and register during the printing process.
DIFFERENT INDUSTRIAL
APPLICATIONS The special chemical treatment developed by
Coveme changes permanently the surface tension
of PET, making this plastic film an ideal support to
be coated with water, solvent and hot melt based
adhesive masses and systems, and also for resins
and abrasive coatings.
Coveme's product range includes also films that are
treated chemically and additionally heat stabilized
and coated in-line with specific coatings that make
them suitable as a support for photopolymer plates.
