(plastech) -- To meet the specific needs of the Chinese market more effectively in future, the mould manufacturer Plastisud has joined forces with Engel Austria, the producer of injection moulding machines, to form a joint venture.
Under the name of Green Cap, they are offering turnkey solutions for the production of sealing caps for water and soft drinks containers in China.
Around the globe, demand for caps and closures is expanding by around five percent per year - and China is the world's largest market in terms of volume. The world's most populous country is imposing increasingly stringent requirements on packaging products and their manufacture: the weight of packaging needs to be reduced, quality needs to be raised and uncompromising performance must be delivered with maximum energy efficiency. ⌠The Chinese market is very demanding. Chinese customers request nothing but the best, emphasises Walter J. Jungwirth, Director New Business Development at Engel Austria in the Austrian town of Schwertberg.
