Enhancing the event in terms of its content were talks on new technological developments from KHS Corpoplast. (A more detailed report will be included in Issue 9 of PETplanet insider.) The new production facility, with an assembly area of approx. 2,500m 2 , was completed in November 2012. This has provided the KHS Corpoplast plant in Hamburg with an assembly area cov- ering approx. 11,000m 2 , a logistics area of approx. 3,500m 2 and office accom- modation amounting to some 6,500m 2 . Plans are afoot for a further increase in 2015 which will extend the assembly area by about 2,500m 2 . www.khs-corpoplast.com Siapi on the road in emerging markets Siapi, the Italian PET container blow moulding machinery manufacturer, is to continue and extend its programme of symposiums and events abroad aimed particularly at emerging markets. The most recent conference, organ- ised by Siapi and Siapi Africa, was held at the Carthage Thalasso Resort hotel, Gammarth, Tunisia, in February 2013 and presented a range of solutions and applications available to the African market. The afternoon debate focused on the pursuit of quality in blow moulding processes for PET bottles and contain- ers. The next symposium is scheduled for September 2013 and be held in Mexico. Along with issues specific to the local markets, Siapi is highlighting its development of lighter packages, such as its 330g 5 US gal watercooler bottle, and improved energy efficiency through technology such as its blow air recov- ery system and energy-efficient ovens. www.siapi.it LSB, Artenius, Appe insolvency La Seda de Barcelona, S.A.
