APPE recently added a set of five new round jars to its ThermaLite line.
The investment, says
APPE, comes on the back of several "extremely successful years" and will support both an increase in sales and development of the manufacturing platform of the business.
ThermaLitee[R] jars are manufactured using the unique double-blow technology developed by
APPE and Nissei ASB which enables them to be hot-filled and/or pasteurised at temperatures of up to 95[degrees]C.
While being disappointed that we weren't able to acquire
APPE in the administration process of La Seda de Barcelona, Petainer is well positioned and supported to continue to develop and grow the PET and plastics market with current products as well as new launches in the coming months," commented Nigel Pritchard, CEO of Petainer.
APPE Heat Set bottles are manufactured with the company's purpose-designed resin and produced using a specialised blowing process which adds strength and rigidity to the PET molecular structure.
APPE makes plastic preforms and containers for beverage, food, alcohol, personal care and household markets.
Competition judge, John Bunker, said: "The standard of entries was very high again this year but the
APPE jars sood out as meeting all the criteria for a winner, including convincing success in the market place.
APPE says the jar is up to 85 percent lighter than glass equivalents with a smaller footprint, delivering huge savings in transport costs both before and after filling.
The
APPE bottle incorporates the company's pioneering Bind-Ox[TM] technology to give the Passata its extended shelf life.
