nufacturer of plastic closures, presented its plastic closures for the automotive, chemical, pharmacology, agro-chemical and food and beverages industries at this year’s Interpack.“BERICAP is delighted with the result of this year's INTERPACK. Our stand enjoyed plenty of customers and we held many excellent discussions with high-ranking visitors,” confirmed Volker Spiesmacher, BERICAP Holding’s Sales and Marketing Director.
Visitors from every continent showed an interest in BERICAP products. Many came from Europe, but a significant number had travelled from as far afield as South America and various Asian countries, including Southeast Asia and India. These visitors are particularly interested in finding local contacts and products locally manufactured – and BERICAP operates production facilities in all these regions.
New products shown at Interpack included closures combining the target of light weight and cost-saving solutions while at the same time meeting the needs of the consumer, e.g. offering a good grip height for easy opening – and the HexaLite 26/13 and 29/13 still water closures meet such targets. In addition, BERICAP presented a new lightweight neck and closure solution for hotfill and aseptic applications. The thin 1.5mm neck wall fitting a newly developed 33mm or 38mm hotfill closure enjoyed considerable interest due to its significant cost-saving potential.
Still in the food industry, BERICAP has enlarged its portfolio and introduced new closures and applications. The TPE valve closure suitable for viscous foods also found a high degree of acceptance thanks to the advantages it delivers in the recycling stream compared with silicon-based valves.
Non-food closures, particularly for agro-chemical and automotive products, also drew visitors because of the options offered to protect against product piracy or counterfeiters, which cost branded companies a lot of money year after year.
