History of FIBC
Although there is disagreement on exactly where FIBCs were first used, it is certain that they have been employed for a variety of packaging purposes since the 1940s. By the 1960s development of polypropylene, combined with advances in weaving, the big bags as we know it today came into being and was rapidly adopted by a wide variety of oil and chemical companies to store and transport powdered and granular products.
It was during the oil crisis of the 1970s that the FIBC really came into its own for transporting huge quantities of cement to the Middle East from across Europe for the rapid expansion of the oil producing countries. At its zenith, upwards of 50,000 metric tons of cement was being shipped out on a weekly basis to feed the vast building programme.
The modern FIBC transports a growing figure of over 1/4 billion tonnes of product each year and is used to handle, store and move products as varied as cereals to powdered chemicals and flour to animal feeds.
