Preform range expansion
Drinktec Société Générale des Techniques (SGT), Hall A4 – Stand 330 Société Générale des Techniques (SGT), a French family firm, has consolidated its expertise in the manufacture of PET preforms with the recent acquisition of an injection press exclusively dedicated to multilayer applications.
This new Husky HPP5 state-of-the-art machine is intended to not only give the company more flexibility but also more freedom in the design of new barrier solutions. In developing such applications, SGT will also be able to intensify its presence in packaging sectors for sensitive products like wines, syrups, milk and carbonated soft drinks.
With this multilayer process, SGT aims to offer preforms featuring stronger barriers (oxygen, CO2, light, UV, etc.) while at the same time offering lighter packaging that was not conceivable until now.
With a standard range of 220 preforms designed for a great variety of applications, SGT claims to meet the requirements of all bottlers by henceforth offering monolayer and multilayer solutions for cold, hot or aseptic filling processes that thereby guarantee the shelf life and quality of their products.
