CAPPING / CLOSURES 31 PET planet insider Vol. 15 No. 01+02/14 www.petpla.net A PETplanet study at K 2013 Caps and closures In part 2 of our study we continue to describe the state-of-the art technology and the devel- opments, strategies and competitive differentiation of the companies involved in the market of suppliers of systems and moulds for the production of caps and closures. Husky We met: Mark Fitzpatrick, Husky Global Leader, Beverage Closure Systems Husky is in the market with a sig- nificant population of injection mould- ing machines in the caps and closures application. Husky did not have a stand at K 2013, but simultaneously with K 2013 issued an invitation to an event in Luxembourg, the Husky European Beverage Packaging Conference,“A major stop on Husky’s year-long World Tour.” In this workshop Husky demon- strated two beverage closure systems, i.e. the proven HyCap, as well as its new HyCap HPP (High Performance Package) – both systems with equip- ment from their own development and production, including Husky machine, Husky mould and Husky hot runner.
