Good prospects for the American market and strong dollar, has meant that European prices are back to competitive levels. This is why ILIP decided to return to the PMA Fresh Summit after a 5 year absence.
The European company which deals in thermoformed plastic packaging, displayed its main products this year, including a whole range of fruit nest trays and clamshell punnets for grapes, particularly requested in the USA. The company also featured a wide range of heat-sealable r-PET punnets, such as the “TS” series, designed for sensitive produce such as berries and cherry tomatoes, thanks to technical-functional solutions that can preserve them throughout the production chain.
“The American market has a significant potential for this type of packaging, and we’re sure we’ll meet with interest in the possibility of supplying compostable PLA packaging and products 100% made of super clean r-PET”, explains Mauro Stipa, ILIP’s export sales manager for fresh produce packaging.
“For us, attending the PMA was crucial: it’s the most professional window in the world of American produce. We are becoming more and more focused on exporting our products, and these trade fairs boast not only American operators, but also hundreds of contacts from Central and South America, Canada, and Asian countries”
