EDITORIALdear readers,

Business has been booming since the 1980s, with records levels of sales regularly being announced, and plenty of growth in the PET business. Growth is a driver in politics and commerce, including the beverage industry and our PET business. In the last 2 decades, since the beverage industry discovered the advantages of PET, the number of litres packaged in PET has continued to grow - and with it the amount of PET resin processed.

The booming beverage markets have been an open invitation to innovative companies to join in the trend. The number of manufacturers of PET processing machines has increased. Turnover has often exhibited double-fi gure annual growth. It has become the accepted norm. No companies plan for zero growth. No board of directors dares to forecast shrinking levels of business. No sales-man is satisfi ed with a reduced number of deals. The natural human needs for prestige, kudos and recognition add fuel to the passion for growth.

Without growth nothing works - what a really audacious concept! Yet sud-denly growth takes a holiday. We hear from many companies in our business that sales are falling. A society which is based on regular growth suddenly sees a fall in sales and economic activity, and regards it as a catastrophe. This is when people start to realise that growth isn’t just a driver, but can become a drug on which the whole of society is hooked!

The striving for growth becomes growth fever. And everybody involved - the banks, the industry, politicians, and even whole countries - are now being asked to quell the fever. What the real commercial world now has to do is adapt. Markets, i.e. the sum of real demand, are shrinking. Demand is falling right now, and yet this recurrent phenomenon is not new - it is normal. Economic cycles are normal. Smart businessmen and managers know this, and react in good time. The not-so-smart managers have to catch up.

Those companies involved in the PET industry will have to adapt their capacity to the real output requirements of their customers, and then grow once again, starting from a lower base dictated by their markets - preferably with leaner structures, without the pressure for kudos and recognition, but with prudence, and in the knowledge that this crisis is above all an internal crisis and can be beaten by internal measures.

It will be some consolation to know that the beverage market satisfi es a basic human need. It is a market which is real and will continue to exist, unaffected by virtual speculation. For this reason alone the recovery phase for beverage producers, bottlers and machinery manufacturers will inevitably happen, with new growth that will once again bring profi ts. It is a well-known fact that the best results are always achieved at the start of such a new growth phase.

Ensuring that growth, as well as falling sales, is always under control and that a satisfactory jobs market is available - during a growth phase and also during an economic slowdown or even a temporary standstill - is a priority for all professional entrepreneurs.

That classic advice rings true: “Do your work at home. Don’t blame the markets”

Yours,

Wolfgang von Schroeter

Bericap advances in sports closure market

Bericap offers two basic types of sport closures to the market, the well known push-pull closure, consisting of 3 differ-ent parts, and the 2-piece Thumb’Up sports closure, with the advantage of one-handed opening and re-closing. In 2008 Jamnica, a leading Croatian mineral water bottler, decided to replace all of its push-pull closures used for fl avoured water with the Thumb’Up. As well as the marketing advantages, environmental reasons also supported the change to the 30/25 sports closure. Originally the 30/25 push-pull with IHS foil, suitable for the aseptic fi lling process, was used. The change of cap now allows the elimina-tion of the IHS liner, giving increased consumer-friendly handling, as the clo-sure does not need to be unscrewed to remove the foil before drinking.

In 2009, after the major success of Thumb’Up for fl avoured water, Jamnica is also now switching its famous Jana water brand.

Napcor cautions against the use of degradable additives in PET packaging

The American National Association for PET Container Resources (Napcor) has urged restraint in the use of degradable additives in PET packaging. The organisation is concerned that no data have been made publicly available to substantiate or document the claims made for these additives. Napcor wants to see evidence of:

the degradability of PET resin products containing degradable additives the effect of degradable additives on the quality of the PET recycling stream the impacts of degradable additives on the products made from recycled PET and the true impact on the service life of these products. In 2007, 1.4 billion pounds (around 680,000t) of post-consumer PET con-

tainers were recycled in the United States. Napcor Executive Director Dennis Sabourin said, “We don’t yet understand the impact that these additives could have on the quality of the PET recycling stream, let alone the impacts on the safety and functionality over time of products made from post-consumer PET”. Aside from the potential impact on recycling Napcor questions the value of the concept itself. Even it is proven that packaging will safely degrade in landfi lls, or as roadside or marine litter, unlike recycled PET, the energy used in the manu-facture of the plastic packaging is lost, not recaptured. “Even if a package were to disappear or fragment (and we have not yet seen evidence of this) it would not make the package sustainable, nor does it provide any positive impacts in terms of greenhouse gas emissions or resource conservation,” said Mr. Sab-ourin. “Degrading plastic provides no useful nutrients to the soil. The impacts on soil or the sea of reducing the plastic to molecules using degradable additives is unknown.” Napcor calls on brand owners and decision makers to fully consider the impacts behind the use of degradable additives in light of the larger issues of sustainability, climate change and resource conservation.

Chinaplas 2009 - almost 70,000 visitors

Despite the global economic crisis, swine fl u, and the rainy weather in Guangzhou throughout the show period, Chinaplas 2009, held from May 18th to 21st, was well attended, with 1,840 exhibitors and about 70,000 buyers from all around the world.

Mr Stanley Chu of Adsale Exhi-bition Services Ltd, organisers of CHINAPLAS, said, “The unfavourable external factors did bring us a lot of challenges and diffi culties in the past few months. However, with staunch support from many infl uential trade associations and our working team’s intensive promotion efforts the show was 30% larger in area than China-plas 2007, also held in Guangzhou. The number of visitors also met our expectation. Overseas buyers accounted for 16.4% of the total visi-tor numbers (64.6% from Asia, 9% from the Middle East and 8% from Europe. The remainder were from America, Africa and Oceania).

More than 2,000 visitors at Engel Symposium

The amazing success of the Engel Symposium 09, 27th and 28th May in St. Valentin just goes to show that innova-tion is an important topic even in diffi cult times. Some 2,000 guests from 45 coun-tries followed the invitation by the Austrian injection moulding machine manufacturer and enjoyed fascinating keynotes, highly innovative exhibits and interesting talks. This is a new record for Engel – it has never welcomed so many visitors to a symposium before. And this despite the very tense market situation.

“In these drastic economic times, our customers are increasingly relying on improving their competitiveness by increasing productivity, innovations and energy savings. And they look for inno-vative and stable partners for the future to help them achieve this. The very positive response with 2,000 attending the Engel Symposium shows that we fulfi ll these needs by offering our cus-tomers attractive solutions to help them continue mastering future market chal-lenges and motivates to continue this way”, says Dr. Peter Neumann, CEO Engel Holding.

International Recycled Polyester Forum

The fi fth China Recycled Polyester Forum is to be held from September 2 to 4 in Shanghai. The conference pro-vides insights into the dynamics of the polyester recycling chain in China, an industry which is increasingly infl uential throughout the world. As previously the conference takes place under the aus-pices of the China Chemical Fiber Eco-nomic Information (CCFEI). PCI (PET Packaging, Resin & Recycling) Ltd will cover market development issues, Polyester Recycling Forum will review the latest PET recycling technology and CCFEI will supply an insight into the development of the Chinese recycling industry.

Topics will include the impact of the global recession on polyester recy-cling, market developments, prospects for RPET fi bre and recycling in China, emerging recycling technologies, devel-opments in Chinese law and regulations covering recycling, industry standards for recycled PSF in China, user require-ments for food grade RPET, issues relating to CO2 footprint and chemical PET recycling.

New identity for Manjushree

The Indian company Manjushree Extrusions Ltd, based in Bangalore, has announced a change of name to Manjushree Technopack Ltd, with immediate effect. While the company will retain the ‘Manjushree’ brand as a part of the new name, it has been decided to replace ‘Extrusions’ and usher in ‘Technopack’, to better rep-resent the company’s two core busi-ness offerings, namely Packaging Technology and Packaging Solutions. Manjushree Technopack will continue to specialise in rigid plastic packag-ing, providing packaging solutions that include PET preforms, and PET and PP bottles and jars. They will also con-tinue to serve a clientele that includes leading names such as Unilever, P&G, Cadbury, Nestlé, GSK, Coke, Pepsi etc. Mr. Vimal Kedia, Managing Director, Manjushree Technopack, explained that when the company started 25 years ago extrusions described adequately the principal products. However the company felt that a new name would better describe their current activities.

The REACH Pre-Registration is over – What now?

To ensure that companies meet the fi rst substance registration deadline of November 10, 2010 set by REACH it is important that the Substance Information Exchange Forums (SIEFs) are promptly established.

The idea behind SIEFs is that companies planning to register the same substance share information to avoid duplication of studies, and agree on classifi cation and labelling as appropriate. Joining a SIEF is a legal obligation for all those registering.

Companies who have pre-registered substances will be contacted by their SIEF Formation Facilitator (SFF) to confi rm their future inter-est. It is very important to confi rm your company’s preference by promptly answering either with a positive or negative response, or possibly agreeing to respond in a timely manner. Most requests ask whether you are Active, Passive or Dormant. If you are not sure, make contact to clarify your company’s position. Registrations depend on this interaction.

You may be asked by the SIEF if you are a Data Holder. Even if you do not receive such a request you must nevertheless inform the SIEF quickly if you are in fact a Data Holder.

Many readers will be Downstream Users of manufactured and imported substances. Make sure that you write a letter to your suppli-ers (manufacturers or importers) before November 1, 2009 to ask them to include your company’s applications in their submissions. If your company’s application is not included as a use for this substance in the worst case you may have to cease production. Your company would need to make the Downstream Use application itself to remedy this.

Enforcement is a key part of REACH. Already authorities in some countries have delayed shipments of substances, or materials containing substances that have not been pre-registered. It is your responsibility to ensure your manufacturer/importer has pre-registered the substance you use. An offi cial letter from them might be used in your defence if they have not pre-registered your substance, but the company’s pre-registration number will not serve as a defence.

Remember, if you use a substance imported from outside of the EU (this includes polymers) and the importer has not pre-registered the substance then you must immediately cease using that substance and move to a supplier who has pre-registered. Do not ignore this problem and expect it to go away - it will not!

Recyclers are unlikely to be required to register unless they import recyclate from outside of the EU. However PET recyclers are likely to be part of the Downstream User scenario and should therefore be prepared to cooperate with the SIEF.

New PET plant expansion for SabicUhde Inventa-Fischer has entered into a contract with Saudi Basic Industries Cor-

poration (Sabic) to provide the technology licence and complete basic engineering for the second PET resin expansion of Sabic’s manufacturing affi liate, Arabian Industrial Fiber Company (Ibn Rushd) at the site in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. The plant will have an annual capacity of 420,000 tonnes and will produce various grades of PET resin for, among others, still water and CSD bottling applications. This latest PET resin expan-sion goes along with several other projects at Ibn Rushd, including an extension of the PTA plant as the raw material source for the PET plant. Based on specifi c project, end-product and logistic requirements laid down by Sabic, Uhde Inventa-Fischer will provide an integrated and tailor-made plant design using its proprietary melt phase PET technology.

Singapore – under pressure, but still setting the trend, and a benchmark for ASEAN

by Wolfgang von SchroeterPart 2ASEAN

The general report on PET in the ASEAN countries (see PETplanet Insider 06/2009) is followed in this issue by our visit reports and the discussions we held with suppliers of PET machines, PET converters and bev-erage fi llers. The visits and discussions all took place in mid-January 2009. *

We were guided and accompanied on our tour through the PET world by the big suppliers in the PET business: Husky and Sidel, who are pioneers in PET technology and enjoy a long tradition in the region, as well as by KHS, who together with SIG Beverages (in particular the former Krupp Corpoplast) have now taken a huge leap forward in the PET business, and by Sipa who have found a suitable range of fi lling machines in their merger with Berchi.

All of these companies opened doors for us and intro-duced us to converters and fi llers, including Indorama, Aqua Danone, Coca-Cola, Pepsi Cola and many others.

Netstal have very few machines in the area, whilst

Krones is clearly enjoying success by focussing on glass bottle fi lling. There was nothing locally of real interest that they could show to a researcher into the PET business.

In the past a tour of the ASEAN countries always began in Singapore, which for years was the gateway to the ASEAN region, in the same way that Hong Kong was the gateway to China. However both cities have lost some of their importance. While Husky and KHS have set up their ASEAN headquarters in Singapore, the big PET convert-ers and fi llers have walked on. They don’t produce in Singapore any longer because of the high costs. Nearby Malaysia has proven to be more attractive. But Singapore still offers good, attractive residential facilities, schools and universities, a well-established logistics system, a skilled workforce and personal security, as well as one of the best global communications networks. The city is clean, well-organised and has given its Chinese character a new, modern image as well as having lost a great deal of its original Asian identity. A large number of Europeans have settled there.

Product and population of preform systems

Core markets Beverage packaging including preforms, refurbishing/ conversion and servicesClosures Thinwall packaging Medical Consumer electronics Hot runners and controllers

A total of approximately 1,250 Husky injection moulding machines are operating in all of Asia. This includes about 800 Husky PET systems of which about 60 are in ASEAN. Here the low-volume systems in particular, with 120 ton and 90 ton clamping force, are the best sellers.

Most of the injection molding machines for the ASEAN countries are manufactured at Husky’s Asia Pacifi c head-quarters in Shanghai, which also functions as the location for complete system integration

From our visits to converters and numerous brand owners it appears that Husky has no major opposition. Market share has risen to nearly 80%. All of the big names in beverage and packaging operate with Husky products.

Netstal and Sipa machines are rare in ASEAN. Perhaps Guangzhou Huayan Precision Machinery from China may become challenger.

Local organisation

Husky has 100 employees in Singapore, mainly in hot runner production. More than 30 employees are located in the various markets. Turnover of Husky Singapore has trebled since 2006. Hoefert: “The fi nancial crisis may also effect bev-erages. In our forecast we simply deduct 2% from the 2008 fi gures.”

Well-proven high-tech machine tools could be seen in the Singapore hot runner manufacturing operation. Hoefert claims: “Delivery within days of receiving the order is not a rare thing!”

Visions and expectations

Hoefert’s expectations within other countries throughout South East Asia are focused on Vietnam: “The beverage market in Vietnam is growing well,” he says.

CSD is growing fast for both, Coke and Pepsi, at 15 to 20% per annum. Water is growing for both Coke and Pepsi as well as for local brands at 30% per annum. Edible oil and fi sh sauces at 20 to 30%. Hot fi ll and aseptic fi ll has arrived in Vietnam (e.g. teas). Multi-layer has seen a degree of interest. “We have seen a dynamic market in Vietnam during 2008. PET resin consumption went up by 20 to 25%.”

For the total ASEAN market he sums up as follows: ASEAN is primarily a low volume market, i.e. for smaller systems, up to 32 cavities (with exceptions in the very large beverage companies).

Singapore, January 13, 2009

Husky Injection Molding Systems Singapore Pte Ltd “Despite the economic crisis the Asian potential is undisputed.”

Karl Heinz Hoefert – Husky Singapore Vice President, Service and Sales

We met Karl Heinz Hoefert – Husky Singapore Vice President, Service and Sales, and rebecca Chin, Executive Assistant.

The Husky Asia Pacifi c (including ASEAN) business headquarters is located in Shanghai.Husky Singapore is the headquarters for ASEAN, selling preform injection moulding systems, packaging solutions and services through regional branches across ASEAN. Sales and marketing for Australia, Korea and Japan are also the responsibility of the Husky Singapore offi ce. Husky Singapore also handles local produc-tion of hot runner systems in support of local and regional toolmakers. Husky’s goal is to supply these toolmakers with hot runners, as required and with short delivery times. Husky Singapore is one of four hot runner manufacturing locations in Asia – in addition to two in China (Shanghai and Shenzhen) and one in Japan.

Karl Heinz Hoefert fi rst took us through the simple but functional open-plan offi ces. An employee canteen and a healthy lunch are standard at Husky and a service offered to the staff. “Husky values the skills and contributions of each team member, which is why employee retention is very impor-tant in today’s competitive economy,” comments Hoefert.

The Chinese script on red banners reminds us that it is the Year of the Ox, which is celebrated at the end of January eve-rywhere where there are Chinese people. Karl Heinz Hoefert is a mechanical engineer and has been at Husky since 1997 – four years in Canada, seven years in Luxembourg – in business development, marketing, internal sales and external sales. In 2008 he received the call to the Far East. “To be in Asia for Husky is a dream,” he enthuses.

Indonesia and Thailand are key markets in ASEAN, with Vietnam having a high potential. A major contributor to growth is water. Other promising contributors are edible oil, tea and isotonic drinks. In general Husky expects healthy growth for the long term future.

Hoefert: “Of course we could also look at the dark side when describing the whole Asian market - because of the well-documented global fi nancial crisis. I don’t get involved with such speculation. The potential in Asia is indisputable. There is a huge need for such products, and a real need for the Asian market to catch up. We choose to take a positive approach.”

Jakarta: modern and vintage on equal footing

Indonesia, with a population of 230 million, is the most heavily populated country in ASEAN. Straddling the equator and spread over countless islands, the country has numer-ous ethnic groups, cultures and religions. Industrial and social development varies from island to island - from the island of Sumatra via central Java, through Timor, and New Guinea in the deep south. In Jakarta the new and the old stand side by side - high rise buildings and shanties, Mercedes and three-wheelers (tuk-tuks). This wondrous mix is one of the charms of Jakarta, and part of the mentality that differs from the standardised pursuit of so-called civilisation and wellbeing based on the Western model. Yet our guide, who showed us through Jakarta was sad to say, “What and why can Singa-pore do so much better that we can’t?” Of the estimated 230 million people in Indonesia 63% live on Java, where the capi-tal, Jakarta, is situated. This is therefore where most business is done and where companies tend to establish themselves.

We understood from discussions that the population is broken down roughly as follows:

“A” (the upper class) representing 10 to 15%, of whom 80% are Chinese.“B” (the middle class) 15 to 20%. Important for the dis- cerning consumption of, among other things, packaged beverages. “C” and “D” (the under-privileged lower classes) more than 60%.

Government intervention is targeting improvement in the lot of these lower social groups. The impact of the eco-nomic crisis has not really been felt so far. Indications are that government policy will tackle problems of infrastruc-ture, energy and corruption, and will eventually result in the growth of the middle classes, which appears most vital for the beverage industry, and for the PET industries associ-ated with it.

Jakarta, Indonesia - January 13, 2009

Husky Injection Molding Systems “The growth of the middle classes is most vital for the beverage and PET industries.”

Arief Dewanto – Husky Regional Manager, Indonesia

We met Arief Dewanto, Husky regional Manager, Indo-nesia.

Arief Dewanto suggested that we call in to a super-market, and decided to go to the “The Food Hall“, into a shopping mall, a big store that could be found just about anywhere that people shopped, or went window-shopping, where they could meet and chat, and where one could think back to the change from the lovely old Chinese mar-kets that no longer exist here. In the beverages department we could see the numerous different formats - creatively designed bottles and labels - and where PET, thanks to its versatility, has given the designer’s imagination almost total freedom.

The malls and supermarkets to a degree offer a guar-antee of quality and safety, which was not necessarily the case with traditional Asian sales in the streets, especially when there was a re-fi lling station nearby, which was not meant for cars but rather for re-fi lling 5 gallon containers (usually made from PC) with drinking water.

Arief Dewanto said that he believed re-fi lling was again on the increase due to the current economic situation. This type of trend could not only cause signifi cant trouble for the beverage industry but would also refl ect on the local health authorities who are not able to check the water quality, nei-ther are they able to check the cleanliness of the re-used container.

The local PET industry

There are 5 PET resin manufacturers/suppliers in Indo-nesia: Indorama, Mitsubishi, Mitsui , SK Chemical (Korea) and PolyPET (local).Husky has 36 systems between 16 and 128 cavities in the country with reference customers such as: AQUA Danone and Coca-Cola, as well as convert-ers such as Uniplast and Indotirta Abadi . The trend for converters is towards in-house operation for brand owners. Husky’s market share, in terms of cavities, is estimated to be more than 80%. Competition comes from China in the form of Huayan.

PT Aqua Golden Missis-sippi was established in 1973 by Tirto Utomo. He was the fi rst Indonesian pioneer bot-tling mineral water. The fi rst factory was built in Bekasi near Jakarta. Today there are 14 factories spread throughout Indonesia. Tirto Utomo himself is still with the company as minority shareholder.

1985: Aqua developed 220ml PET packaging for bot-tled water.

1995: First in-line production at the Mekarsari factory. Simultaneous Aqua water processing and packaging in 1.5 litre bottles

In 1998 a strategic alliance occurred between the Aqua Group (with PT Tirta Inves-tama as its holding company) and the Danone Group. This merger has placed A in a posi-tion to become the largest bottled mineral water producer in ASEAN. Today Danone is a 73% shareholder of Tirta Investama. 27% is traded on the local stock exchange.

KHS Asia PTE LTD“Supply of the fi lling line’s key components from Germany takes precedence. Although supplies from global workshops in Brazil, China and India have opened up new opportunities for us.”

Gerhard Schmitt – General Manager, KHS Asia Pte Ltd, Singa-pore

We met Gerhard Schmitt – General Manager, KHS Asia Pte Ltd, Singapore and Patrick Tan Yong Hong – Sales Man-ager, KHS Asia Pte Ltd, Singapore.

The KHS head offi ce for sales and service in ASEAN is in Singapore, with KHS Asia Pte PTY. The KHS Asia project engineers on site have access to machines from all of the KHS production operations: from Germany, from Brazil (São Paulo), the USA (Waukesha, Sarasota), Mexico (Zinacante-pec), India (Ahmedabad) and China (Shantu).

Now, as part of Salzgitter, and with the acquisition of SIG Corpoplast KHS has become one of the 3 or 4 global suppli-ers able to offer fully integrated turnkey PET bottle blowing and fi lling lines.

Gerhard Schmitt, General Manager, says “Internal inte-gration is in principle completed”. The initial successes are achieved via KHS contracts for 2 turnkey PET lines from Pakistan, including a Blowmax 22, and in Bangladesh, with a line including a Blowmax 16.

In contrast to Sidel and Simonazzi, where total merger was driven as quickly as possible with no compromise, KHS are handling the merger with Corpoplast in a watchful and circumspect way - presumably to avoid losing any of the specialist knowledge within the companies involved. Further-more both KHS and Corpoplast are well-established in the region.

Gerhard Schmitt received us in the KHS offi ces in the German Centre at the International Business Park. From

here the German Federal Republic provides support for technical development by building and operating a well-equipped training centre, and by renting offi ce space to a current total of 130 German companies, mostly medium sized enterprises.

Gerhard Schmitt said, “We chose carefully when we decided to locate our business in Singapore. It was impor-tant when we were setting up and is still important today, because of the stable political situation, the excellent logistics, and even on cost grounds. Singapore is the hub for all of the ASEAN states. It also has the world’s biggest container port. It’s true that Singapore is no longer the ‘door to ASEAN’ - Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur are growing in importance, but Singapore is a complete service provider, with a total business package from the universities to the fi nancial sector. Singapore is benchmarking the future in this region.“

Gerhard Schmitt knows what he is talking about. He is a highly experienced industry manager with 28 years in the job, which he started in Bad Kreuznach under Maternus Gemmel when the company was still Seitz. He has been in Singapore for 28 years and is fi rmly ensconced here with his wife and 2 kids. His knowledge of the market, his experience in countless tough battles with the competition and his basic dependability are qualities that a company such as KHS can build on in the region.

KHS in the region

1979 Founding of branch offi ce in Singapore, registered under H&K Asia Pte.

1990 Name was changed to KHS Asia Pte Ltd.

Local organisation

KHS in Far East Asia has India as the Global Sourcing Point, and branches in Korea, Japan and in Australia. The ASEAN branch offi ces are in Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines. Of the 110 sales and service employees in the whole KHS Far East Business Unit (under Director Rainer Hilgert). 50 are working in ASEAN (reporting to General Manager Gerhard Schmitt). 25 of them are service technicians.

Product and population

Beside numerous turnkey lines, approximately 300 individ-ual machines are operating in the region – mixing, rinsing, fi ll-ing, capping, pasteurising, labelling, conveying, and packing.

In the 30,000 bph+ category the machines come from Germany. Below 30,000 bph suppliers have to be fl ex-ible to remain competitive, as Gerhard Schmitt explains. KHS responds to this requirement with a formula which has proven successful in ASEAN, i.e. the “ideal typical scenario”, calling on KHS’s global manufacturing facilities. First class project management on site is required for coordination and assembly of the equipment supplied from various corners of the world. KHS is acknowledged as being able to meet this

requirement, which even their competitors ungrudgingly con-cede. “Suppy of the fi lling line’s key components from Ger-many takes precedence. It helps me sleep better. Supplying equipment from our subsidiaries in Brazil and India opens up new market sectors for us, where we would otherwise not be able to compete, and where our prices are not in line with the local market”, says Gerhard Schmitt. In ASEAN KHS has sup-plied many prominent names such as Heineken Group, APB, Coca-Cola, Pepsi Cola, San Miguel Brewery, Sabeco Group, Habeco Group and others.

Market development

“The beverage market has grown well over recent years, often at double-fi gure growth rates. Leading com-panies such as Coca-Cola are not letting the global crisis divert them from their expansion plans”. Looking at future developments Schmitt mentioned hot fi ll and aseptic tech-nologies. Water, energy drinks and isotonics are expected to compensate for declining volumes of CSDs. “Despite existing opportunities we have reduced our forecast from the middle of this year by about 20%. As KHS Asia we can nevertheless manage well, to a certain extent from sales of services, modifi cations and spares and hope as everybody else that the global downturn will get an upswing soon; latest, hopefully by mid 2010.”

Yeo Hiap Seng (YHS) Filling for Pepsi on a 6th fl oor plant

Andrew K H Neo – Senior Production Manager

We met Andrew K H Neo – Senior Production Manager We isited YHS together with Patrick Tan Yong Hong from KHS ASIA. YHS is a co-packer for Pepsi Cola in Singa-pore. The YHS building (offi ces and production facilities) has 10 fl oors. There was plenty of concrete used in the construction of the upright supports and the bearers for the fl oors. It is a reminder of the times when Chinese entrepre-neurs in Hong Kong and Singapore built their factories sky-wards on a minimum of ground space, The lack of ground space meant that manufacturing was carried out on a series of different fl oors on upon another.

Andrew K H Neo - Senior Production Manager of YHS –

knows that his visitors are always surprised when they are taken to the 6th fl oor to inspect the fi lling line, but he points out the steady business he does with Pepsi, and the highly experienced team that he has here in Singapore. Besides Singapore, other areas of the YHS production are carried out in neighbouring Malaysia and also in China.

We went to inspect the PET bottling line, entirely designed, project-managed and supplied by KHS. The line capacity is 18,000 bph - 0.5 litre bottles or 10,000 bph - 1.5 litre bottles for cold/warm fi ll of CSD and hot fi ll of fl avoured beverages. Blown PET bottles are shipped in from Malay-sia. A second line fi lling cans (0.33 litres/ 54,000 cans per hour) is on the same fl oor ; also supplied by KHS. There are frequent format changes on the PET line - due to the many types of packaging sizes such as CSD 500ml, 600ml, 1500ml and hot-fi ll in 500ml for the Singapore market. “Frequent format changes - at YHS we are happy to do that with no issue or problem as industry needs to be versatile to cope with changing market demands.” said Andrew K H Neo as we looked from the gallery on the 7th fl oor down onto the production line on the 6th fl oor.

Product and Organisation

In Singapore, about 70% of the YHS production is for PI (PepsiCo International) products, 30% is YHS own brands such as Isotonics, Fruit drinks, Vitaminised drinks and Tea drinks. The annual volume is around 40 million litres. It has 280 employed locally of which 50 are engaged in production.

It is becoming increasingly common for beverage fi llers to blow their own bottles in house. The advantages are obvious - the main one being availability of the right preform at the right time, not to mention the reduced cost (and the reduced carbon foot-print) compared with shipping empty bottles. However, beverage companies are gener-ally less inclined to injection-mould their own preforms, which means that there is still a strong demand for preforms from specialist converters. These companies are the sub-ject of this month’s market survey.

The variety of PET applications is constantly expanding, as is the use of PLA in certain applications, and some of the companies in this month’s survey also offer PLA, PP or PEN preforms as standard. Others are able

to produce such preforms on request, and manufacturers of PET blow-moulding ma-chines are often keen to point out that their machines can blow PLA or PP bottles with a minimum of adjustment. Our survey includes local and international suppliers from a total of 15 countries. UK customers may be surprised to see no UK preform suppliers. Rest assured, there are plenty, including Artenius in Gresford, Con-star in Sherburn-in-Elmet near Leeds and Esterform of Tenbury Wells who did not sup-ply information in time.

The range of standard preforms available from preform suppliers is huge. We hope that our survey helps bottle blowers to source suitable products from somewhere in the world!

Suppliers of preforms - PET, PEN, PLA etc.

SBO Compact Preferential Heating for detergent bottles

Blow moulder versatility is vital

Novapak has about 100 PET stock bottles and manufactures over 350 customized shapes. “Customers may want the same bottles but with different necks or colours. We make our own preforms in order to respond to specifi c requests in the shortest possible time,” Alexander Magyar explains. After acquiring its fi rst Sidel machine in 1996, Novapak now has more than 15 such blowers installed at its three dedicated PET package production plants. “We appreciate the process capacity and quick changeo-ver features of Sidel blow moulders, which help us achieve ideal fl ex-ibility for our production. We know that when we design a bottle, the machine can make it.”

Speeds up to 5,600 bottles per hour

The latest blow moulder installed at Novapak, the SBO 4 Compact Preferential Heating, can run at speeds up to 1,400 bottles per hour per mould, which is nearly 40% faster than the previous generation.

“We are pleased with the quality of the bottles, and machine fl ex-ibility is important for us, because our average run is two days,” says Magyar. “We still have to improve preform infeed, since the neck collar poses a slight problem at high speed. But we know that we can count on Sidel for technical support and for spare parts.” In March, a new pre-form infeed will ensure that Nova-pak meets its product specifi cations.

To meet the growing demand for complex packages, Novapak is increasing its production capacity with a new Sidel blow moulder equipped with Preferential Heating.

For the past dozen years Nova-pak, the American bottle manufac-turer, has been specialising in the production of highly technical plastic packaging for personal care, house-hold goods, automotive, and lawn and garden products. Novapak’s strengths include a wide range of customised bottles, a large number of stock bot-tles, integrated production of pre-forms, and excellent responsiveness to market demands. To meet grow-ing demand in the US market, the company has acquired its fi rst SBO 4 Compact Preferential Heating blow moulder from Sidel. The machine has been installed at its Paris, Illinois, plant, where since the end of Novem-ber 2008 it has been producing two new detergent bottles in the 28 oz. (828 ml) and 22 oz. (651 ml) sizes at a speed of 4,800 bottles per hour.

The culture of plastic

Novapak’s core activity is the manufacture of medium- and large-sized containers, from 150ml to 3l, in quantities ranging from 50,000 to 15 million units and with a total annual production of more than a billion pack-ages. 60% are in PET, 25% in HDPE and 15% in PVC.

“We use HDPE for its barrier prop-erties, which are needed when pack-aging more aggressive products like pesticides or lawn and garden prod-ucts that are not compatible with PET,” says Alexander Magyar, Vice President of Operations at Novapak. “Despite all the environmental concerns about the use of PVC, our business still continues. Today, it is either about the chemical resistance that PET cannot

offer, or for people seeking an inte-grated handle in a clear container.” The production of PET packages at Novapak is mostly for personal and household goods, with a small fraction for beverages, such as isotonic and sports drinks. “We do not make bottles for CSD or water. To be competitive in beverages in the US, you have to have high output machines. We are not a high volume producer.”

Though fully optimized for preferen-tial heating, this new SBO can also be set for standard production with a simple reconfi guration of the machine in less than 30 minutes. Quick Change moulds and “perso” parts reduce format changeover times to 15min. This gain helps reduce time to market, a key parameter for Nova-pak’s customers.

Responsiveness to the market

Today, the key factors in Nova-pak’s success are simple, namely package innovation, and speed to market.

“We can take a new package from design to mould manufacture and industrial-scale production in four-fi ve weeks or less – and with fl awless quality,” Magyar remarks. Originality and quality of the bottle design are essential, since most brand owners want a unique shape to communicate their brand and to differentiate from the competition. “For 80 to 90% of our business customers give us an idea or a concept and we will design the package for them”.

A market in fl ux

There is currently a trend toward new packaging materials in the North American cosmetics and household goods markets. Many glass contain-ers are being switched over to PET which is also replacing PVC to an extent. Some cartons and cans are also being replaced by PET. “PET is proving to be the solution for the future, and we see a number of

development opportunities,” Magyar claims. “The Wal-Marts, the Home Depots, the Lowes do not want glass in their stores. The end-users are driving us away from glass; the fi llers do not want glass because breakage can shut down the whole line.” These factors all favour the use of PET. However, in the United States, plastic has been the victim of bad press.

Commitment to the environment

Novapak is very involved in envi-ronmental protection. “We seek to ensure good practices, in the offi ce, in the plant and throughout the facil-ity. We encourage our customers to do the same,” says Magyar. Actions include simple initiatives such as turning off lights and cutting down on printing in order to reduce paper con-sumption. They also involve major investments in low-energy equip-ment. “We have acquired new com-pressors with frequency drives that shut down automatically when they are not in use. Instead of dispos-ing of it, we reuse hydraulic oil from the extrusion machines to fuel the furnace and reduce consumption.” Novapak also works on decreasing preform weight.

“When a customer brings a con-tainer to us, we can offer them two or three gram weights, depending on what feel and performance character-istics they need,” he says. Novapak can offer lightweighting possibilities even for highly technical packages, thanks to its large portfolio of pre-forms with different dimensions and weights.

Preferential Heating Preferential heating uses a dif-

ferentiated temperature profi le. This selective heating process ensures that the preform expands in pre-defi ned directions to achieve the desired wall thickness while adapting to the specifi c shape of the mould.

This process leads to: Better material distribution, Elimination of areas of over-thickness and easier labeling, Weight optimization of particularly complex containers.

Limits of lightweighting

However, lightweighting does have its limits. “The limits for your product are not driven by mechanical properties but rather by customer acceptance,” states Alexander Magyar. “The customers for personal care cosmetics are used to glass, they want the same chemical and physical resistance. People coming from polyethylene demand a heavy wall thick-ness.” Despite all this, people who are familiar with PET know its performance levels and accept lighter packages: “A trigger sprayer that was initially produced at 55 grams now weighs 36 grams.” Lightweighting is not the only important trend for PET packaging. Customers are also resizing containers to reduce costs. Product size can be reduced in order to maintain an attractive price point that the consumer is willing to pay; a 16 oz container can be reduced to 15 or 14 oz, for example. Conversely, there is also a trend to very large formats for consum-ers who do not want to go to the super-market too often.

After acquiring its fi rst Sidel machine in 1996, Novapak now has more than 15 such blowers installed at its three dedicated PET package production plants.

With more than 200 systems installed in 47 countries since their introduction in 2006, Sipa’s range of SFL linear blowers represent an important technical success for the company. The fl exibil-ity of the SFL range makes them a leading choice for the varied and customised containers required by the health and beauty markets.

High productivity – up to 1,800 bottles/hr/cavity – and low energy consumption helped the SFL ma-chines to commercial success but it is their versatility and fl exibility that really makes them stand out. Simple modifi cations enable the same machine to produce a large variety of bottles, ranging from standard to large – up to 30l and including hot fi ll and differential heating for oval bottles; shaped-neck containers; OPP and PLA bottles; small sizes for pharma-ceutical products; and extremely light bottles with lightweight necks.

SFL machines can also produce bottles with handles formed in the

body and they can be fully customised for cosmetics, detergents and chemi-cal products.

The SFL blowers also benefi t from the other technological innovations of the rotary blowers (SFR) developed by SIPA, the patented oven system in particular, and they guarantee the lowest energy consumption in their category. The adoption of a fast, pre-cise and fully electrical operational system delivers maximum energy saving for mechanical movements in specifi c production outputs.

With more effi cient ventilation, the oven ensures perfect thermal condi-tioning for preforms at lower tem-peratures. This results in a signifi cant energy saving and considerable fl ex-ibility in the adjustment of the heating-stretching-blowing process.

Sipa has achieved reduced air consumption for blowing by using ARS Plus on the SFL blowers. This new and exclusive air recovery system enables recovered exhaust air to be used both for pre-blowing and high-pressure blowing. This option means that the size of the air compressor can be reduced by 35%, leading to lower energy consumption and, therefore, utility costs.

Timotei stays freshUnilever in France packages the 150ml

Timotei brand deodorant in a slim PET bottle fitted with a pump sprayer. The bottle carries a “no-label” look label on the front and the rear label is metallised on the inside. The result is an eye-catching mirror effect at point of sale, which in combination with the printing is aimed at supporting the natural image of the prod-uct. The colour-matched push-on cap and a moulded-in droplet pattern around the neck of the PET bottle nicely finish off this modern pack.

Henkel goes for PETFor their 250ml packs of “Fa”

brand shower gel the German cosmetics company Schwarz-kopf Henkel have chosen a PET bottle. The clear bottles can be decorated with a “no-label” look label or a paper label, depending on the desired effect. The shower gel, which is coloured to match the pack, and some attractive printing on the inner surface of the rear label are eye-catchers at the point of sale. A self-adhesive sticker with information on the new product and the classic “Fa” ball-shaped cap over the snap-shut lid help the consumer to identify the product on the store shelf.

PET for baby shampoo The French company Laboratoires Ven-

dome of Quetigny is marketing a 300 ml pack of baby shampoo in a clear PET bottle. The bottle has no rear label. The required com-mercial and product information are printed on the inside of the front label and can be easily read through the back of the bottle. A colour-coordinated screw-on hinged cap for one-handed use makes the contents easily accessible.

Attractive in PET The 500ml pack of “Coldona” brand

lightly tinted birch hair tonic is marketed by the German company Hagner of Freuden- stadt in an attractively-designed, clear PET bottle. The colourful front and rear labels are shaped to echo the shape of the bottle and carry the required commercial and product information. A sturdy, colour-coordinated screw cap and a dispenser insert in the neck of the bottle nicely complete this cos-metics pack.

Bath fragrance in PET Under the “Wellness + Beauty” brand

by Sandro Lorenzo the cosmetics discount retailer Rossmann of Burgwedel is selling a 500ml orange and pomegranate bath fragrance in a round PET bottle fi tted with a clear screw-on cap with one-handed hinged lid. The clear PET bottle nicely sets off the orange-coloured bath gel. A “no label look” label fi nishes off the pack.

Ginseng shampoo from Spain

Instituto Naturvita S.L. of Barcelona have a 200ml pack of shampoo with ginseng. The shampoo is coloured green and is presented in a clear PET bottle. Colourful, metallised front and rear labels and a screw-on silvery cap with a one-handed hinged lid give the brand an up-market look.

Birkin for grey hairIn Germany the cosmetics manufac-

turer Garnier (part of L’Oreal) is marketing 250ml packs of Birkin Blue hair tonic in a PET bottle. The blue coloured hair tonic is claimed to add gloss, particularly to white or grey fl ecked hair, and to strengthen the hair. Informative paper labels on front and back, a screw cap with harmonised shape and colour, and a dispenser device snapped into the neck of the bottle complete the attractive pack.

Proper training boosts line effi ciency

Practical training based on practical experience: Andreas Walter, Krones, with some of the 30 people who attended the Krones Academy Workshop.

Jörg Puma standing at the fl ip chart is head of the Krones Academy and the person who ran the workshop on “Saving costs and increasing productivity through training”.

Gone are the days when machine operators knew at once what was wrong with their machines when they were not running properly. As machines become more complex they also require fewer operators, nevertheless companies bot-tling beverages often have to turn to other industries for their employees.

“In the factory it is far too often believed that any problems are 80% due to technical failures and 20% due to operator error. That is simply incorrect. 80% of the problems are operator-related. This means that training is immensely important”, says Dr. John Brunner, Nestlé Quality Management Suisse S.A., of Vevey, putting things into perspective.

At the invitation of Jörg Puma, Head of Krones Academy, PET-planet attended one of his workshop sessions, entitled “Saving costs and increasing productivity through training”, where more than 30 senior managers from the global beverage industry discussed the “pros and cons” of training. We should say right away that the general consen-sus among big brand owners as well as smaller companies was in favour of training, and was nicely summed up by G. Waldmann, head of main-tenance and production technology at the Kulmbacher brewery: “Train-ing offers the highest potential for increasing plant efficiency”.

In these fi nancially diffi cult times it is important to squeeze as much as possible out of production machines, and in this regard the practical semi-nar at Krones was given full marks. But this should be done at the right

time. Levent Tosum, technical direc-tor of Efes Breweries Russia made the point: “For me training is at it’s most effi cient when the operator has been working for a while with the machine and has the benefi t of a cer-tain amount of experience”.

It was, however, quickly made quite clear to the participants that training the machine operator is not the end of the story. Managers too, starting with the line manager and production manager, and going right up to senior corporate executives, benefit from best practice sharing and management training. In particu-lar it is necessary, depending on the management level, for the manager to understand what makes a qual-ity product, how to optimise material usage, etc., as well as understand-ing routine tasks such as change-overs and cleaning - all in addition to his own direct responsibilities in terms of employee management.

The group were unanimous in agreeing the need for senior people to understand and be trained in line efficiency. This new Manage-ment Training Line Efficiency is now available at Neutraubling, Germany, Johannesburg, South Africa, Sao Paulo, Brazil, Bangkok, Thailand and Orlando, USA.

Driver’s licence for a stretch blow moulding machine

For some months now the Krones Academy has had its own Contiform S8 exclusively for training purposes. The company offers courses at machine operator level on:

Mechanical adjustment to detect machine malfunctions at an early stageProcess training to keep the bottle quality at a consist- ently high levelSystems technology for electricians and mechanical engineering/electronic engineering employeesOverhaul maintenance training for replacement after 6,000 or 12,000 operating hours

Companies can send their people one at a time for training so that there are always enough operators back at the plant to keep production running. “Previously practi-cal training could only be carried out on machines going through production, which often meant delays or post-ponements,” said Andreas Franzen, head of plastics tech-nology training. “Since last year we have been independ-ent with our own Contiform”.

PETproductsNew generation plastic material for labels

The Grupo Impresor Savasa of San Sebastian in Spain has launched a new transparent label known as Drystick. It is claimed to offer the water and beer indus-tries the ability to achieve the “No label look” without any investment in machinery, and to be cheaper than existing “No label look” solutions. The Drystick label can be applied on conventional high-speed label-ers using water-based adhesive.

The Savasa printing group produces high quality labels using rotogravure print-ing and has been a pioneer in the most important developments of the sector in Europe (IML labels, Cut & Stack labels). At present, the group has 3 production plants, two in Spain and one in Brazil, and pro-duces labels for the beverage, dairy and laundry industries. The new transparent label is already being used by mineral water company Valtorre .

NitroHotfi ll to cut costsWith the new NitroHotfi ll process Krones has brought to market an interesting

alternative to conventional hot fi lling. The system is based on the newly developed “Relax-Cooling” (RC) concept, where the installation of a nitrogen injection dosing feature just before the capper creates a positive pressure of 1.5 to 2 bar inside the bottle. The positive bottle pressure compensates for the shrinkage in product volume downstream of the recooler, thus preventing any bottle deformation due to a fall in pressure. This means that panel design of bottles can be eliminated. The RC process can be used for bottle production in the Contiform H stretch blow moulding machine.

NitroHotfi ll technology offers material savings with the PET bottle itself, reduced blow-air consumption, enhanced performance in the stretch blow-mould-ing process, and increased output from the line as a whole. Relax-Cooling (RC) technology also enables the Contiform H’s fl ushing air consumption to be sub-stantially reduced.

Super-lightweight hot-fi ll from GrahamGraham Packaging has introduced a new lightweight

container, said to be the lightest weight bottle in the smooth-walled, hot-fi ll category, and an ideal match for teas, juices, and isotonic drinks. The new bottle is called the “Escape” and represents a major advance in invertable-base technology. After the bottle is fi lled and capped it goes through a “CMA” (continuous motion activator), a machine that inverts the base which takes up the vacuum in the bottle and creates a slight overpressure. CMA is a signifi cant advance on the active transverse panel (ATP) technology, which Graham Packaging introduced in 2004 to produce the fi rst panel-free hot-fi ll bottle. Honest Tea, the US top-selling organic bottled tea company, based in Bethesda, Maryland, is the fi rst customer to adopt the Escape bottle. Seth Gold-man, president and TeaEO of Honest Tea, Inc., said. “This is the single largest improvement we’ve ever taken in terms of reducing our environmental impact.”

The Escape is 6.5 grams lighter than the PET bottle that Honest Tea was previously using. “It takes fewer resources to make the bottle and fewer resources to transport it”, points out Graham’s Paul Kelley.

New single stage machine from JomarJomar Corporation (Pleasantville, NJ) is celebrating

its 40th year in the design and manufacture of injection blow moulding (IBM) machines. To mark this milestone, the company has developed a new PET 20 IBM machine designed specifi cally to produce containers up to 60 ml in capacity. The number of cavities is determined by the container size.The PET 20 IBM runs in the 12 million per year range or several shorter runs. The tooling from Jomar is designed for quick changeover. The new machine is extremely com-pact and energy effi cient while utilising Jomar’s unique vertical plastifi er and accumulator system, which reduces energy consumption.
