Husky and Napcor come together to host industry event

On July 22, 2015, Husky Injection Molding Systems and the National Association for PET Container Resources (NAPCOR) joined together to host a one-day event at Husky’s global headquarters in Bolton, Ontario, Canada. The event was held during the first day of NAPCOR’s summer membership meeting and was attended by more than 50 business leaders from throughout North America. In addition to insightful presentations, engaging discussions, and networking opportunities attendees were given access to Husky’s facilities, labs and technology development programs and learned first-hand how the company is committed to developing PET preform injection molding solutions.

The event included networking forums, product demonstrations, as well as presentations from Husky and industry experts. Carol Hochu, President and CEO of the Canadian Plastics Industry Association, delivered a presentation discussing Canadian plastics and sustainability. Also presenting was Pieterjan Van Uytvanck from The PCI Consulting Group, Xylenes and Polyesters, on the topic of Sustainability in the Polyester Value Chain and the Impact of Raw Materials. In addition, a key presentation by Husky covered the topic of PET Packaging Trends. NAPCOR representatives closed the day by presenting Husky with an Appreciation Award for the company’s ongoing support of the PET industry.

"We were extremely happy with how the day turned out and appreciate Husky opening their doors to host this event," said Tom Busard, NAPCOR Chairman and Chief Procurement Officer for Plastipak Packaging. "Our goal as an organisation is to work collaboratively with all of our members. Husky’s experience in PET has given them exposure to the largest base of PET customers in North America. Our relationship with members like Husky provides us with insight into current and future packaging design trends driven by their customers and consumers, as well as an understanding of how these trends could impact the PET industry in the future."
