Pretium Packaging has made a 2M$ investment in new reheat stretch polyethylene terephthalate (PET) blow molding equipment and infrastructure for its Troy, Alabama manufacturing plant. The equipment is capable of producing both cold- and hot-fill PET containers to support the growing demand from the condiment, sauce and dressing market, as well as increased supply requirements from the beverage category, including ready-to-drink teas, energy drinks, coffee, etc.
The new equipment has the capability of producing containers ranging from 6 ounces to 2 liters and finishes from 24 to 45mm. “Demand from small- to medium-sized companies for condiment containers, as well as hot-fill bottles continues to increase. However, many suppliers are not willing to provide smaller stock quantities that many of these processors/bottlers require. Our objective is to serve that niche,” said Randy Neibarger, director of operations.
“We also have the capability of producing stock containers for brand owners that prefer to go that route.” The new line is in addition to 10 extruded blow molding units already in place at the Troy facility.
