25 Suppliers of Preforms This year our market overview lists more than 18 manufacturers of preforms from 11 countries. Strongly represented are India and France, closely followed by Saudi Arabia and Germany. (Once again, there is no sign of Artenius, although the reason probably has something to do with the re-structuring activities of LA Seda which are still in full swing. Other major players are also conspicuous by their absence*). On the technology side, our survey reflects the trend indicating that the PCO 1881 is becoming increasingly established on the market. In 2009 there were 6 companies offering preforms in alternative materials (PLA/ PP) in their range or could deliver them on request, whilst in 2010 8 firms purport to fall into this category. Deriving any sort of trend from these figures would be presumptuous; what seems to have happened is that, during this year, companies have come on-stream who were not in evidence last year and who are now mak- ing their presence felt in this sector (e.g. SBECM and Constar.) As always, the range of products is broad and we hope that our survey will pin- point the local bottle blowers as well as the appropriate products and suppliers. Here we should not forget to mention that many of the global suppliers have local branches: it is impossible to list them all here but their details can of course be found on the relevant company websites. Although the publishers have made every effort to ensure that the information in this survey is up to date no claims are made regard- ing completeness or accuracy 05/10 MARKET survey  PET bottle-to-bottle recycling plants  Caps and closures  Conveyers for preforms and empty bottles  Preforms  Preform moulds and SBM moulds  2-stage SBM machinery  Preform and single stage machinery  Resins and additives  Filling equipment  Compressors Company name M/s.
