EDITOUR REPORT 15 PET planet insider Vol. 16 f.l.t.r.: Waldemar Schmitke, PETplanet and Justo Antonio Yanez Vega, General Manager As far as HDPE and PP containers are concerned, predominantly cosmetics and body care, for example for sun cream, shampoo, shower gel, soap dispens- ers, body lotion and also, in small quantities, for contain- ers required within a labora- tory environment. A total of 34 machines are installed, 11 of which are to be found in the PET sector. The PET machines are divided up into eight injection blow moulding machines (single-stage) and three stretch blow moulding machines (two-stage). In the single-stage sector Aoki and Nissei manufacture machines with up to eight blow mould- ing stations; of these, one Nissei is designed for hot fill and wide neck applica- tions (ASB 650 with eight blow moulding stations). In the two-stage sector, pro- duction takes place on two Side stretch blow moulding machines and a Nissei, the largest of these is a Side with six blow-moulding sta- tions. The export proportion is relatively high with the focus on South America and Russia. However, the market is serviced via Farmaplas’ Spanish customers rather than direct. Direct export activities to Holland and Por- tugal tend to be small.
