PETpla.net Insider 12 / 2014

17 PETPLANET AWARD 2014 PET planet insider Vol. 15 When it comes to the reasons for this we can only speculate. Points such as Reachability or Friendliness are independent of product. There- fore it is not surprising either that the overall winner (and at the same time holder of the PETplanet Grand Award 2014) in the survey should come from the preform + cap sector. Husky scored on average a 73% Very Good or Good rating in all categories. In the “manufacturers of preform + cap lines” sector, Husky succeeded in demonstrating its lead a total of 6 times. In 4 categories Netstal demonstrated that the company is among the top players. As already illus- trated above, the scores achieved by the suppliers of SBM and filling lines turn out to be considerably worse. Krones successfully took the PETplanet Award 2014 six times, Sidel and KHS in two categories each.
