Packaging is our core business and we handle all aspects from the chemistry to the final product.” PET Packaging: creating intelligently Carmen Rus, Area Manager of P.E.T. Engineering, adopted a com- mitted, lively and highly specific approach to the problems that crop up in everyday practice in PET com- panies. According to Carmen Rus, many companies are overwhelmed by the constant procession of new challenges that characterise the PET market, where frequently only older, existing plants / lines may be available to meet these challenges. Not all companies – especially not the small and medium-sized ones – are in a position to maintain teams of development staff and technical personnel. However, even Pepsi avail them- selves of the advice and cooperation of P.E.T. Engineering, in the same way as Husky and GEA among others and in particular Novapet – here in Barbastro for the development of new types of materials, for example, DCU in relation to milk packaging. In a section entitled “What we did,” Carmen Rus explained how P.E.T. Engineering had developed since its establishment in 1999; what suc- cess it has had in Italy and Russia, its investments and the awards it has received up to 2014. There followed by examples of successful bottle design – especially emphasising the Italian origin.
