AR Metallizing (ARM), the world leader in the production of metallized paper for the packaging, food and beverage industry, has won the prestigious Oscar de l'Emballage [Packaging Oscar] in France for the best product in the Paper and Cardboard category. 

AR Metallizing won the Oscar de l'Emballage for its environment-friendly metallized paper with ultra glosslook intended for the packaging of consumer goods. Unlike conventional material, the ARM metallized paper contains no plastic film and is consequently significantly more energy efficient to process, while no concessions are made to the glossy appearance of the packaging.  AR Metallizing paper is 100% recyclable and biologically degradable. In this way, AR Metallizing helps hundreds of companies in the FMCG sector every year to minimise their ecological footprint.

These high-quality innovations have made AR Metallizing one of the fastest growing companies in Belgium. In a few years' time, the turnover of AR Metallizing has more than tripled. The company has 3 production sites in Genk (Belgium), Cassalgrasso (Italy) and Franklin (US) where more than 300 employees in all work.  AR Metallizing metallized paper is used for more than 20 billion environment-friendly packaging boxes, from champagne to toothpaste.

The French periodical Emballages Magazine organizes the competition of the Oscars de l'Emballage annually.
