ITALIAN SUPPLIER 13 opment in this field is the solution – with the acronym S.U.P.E.R. – that features a special combination of preform neck finish (developed by Sipa) and light weighted caps (made on Sacmi machines) that solves several key problems associated with the operation of a cap on the neck of a PET. Finally, we meet Gianfranco Zoppas, President of Zoppas Industries, who is happy to have his photograph taken with the new xform series bearing the words “we are right on track“. Zoppas firmly believes that Sipa is well down the right track with its strategy of pro- viding customers with complete solutions that go even beyond the pro- verbial “pellet to pallet,” since the company also has a very strong con- cept and design service for PET packaging. “People want total solutions now, not just the container or the machine to make the container, and we are very strong in that department,” he says. “They also want new ways to produce light- weight containers for economic and ecologi- cal reasons, and Sipa has all sorts of technol- ogy and know-how to help them there too. So I am quite confident for the future.” www.sipa.it PET planet insider Vol. 15 PROVEN COST SAVINGS PERFORMANCE moldmasters.com Mold-Mastersand theMold-Masters logoare trademarksofMold-Masters (2007) Limited. ©2014Mold-Masters (2007) Limited -AMilacronCompany.All rights reserved.
