This reduced bottle neck size allowed a weight saving of as much as 1.37g compared with the PET 29/21 then dominant on the market, enabling Bericap to make a major contribution to preserving natural resources and improving its carbon footprint. Bericap offers all standard closure variants for the PET 26/21 bottle neck, from a one-part closure through the two-part version to a variety of hinged closure variants. All closures can be configured with a top emboss- ment. The higher closures allow brand individualisation through side printing. BERICAP sells more than 1 billion closures for the PET 26/21 bottle neck every year – and the trend is on the rise. www.bericap.com Foboha receive supplier excellence award Procter & Gamble (Cincinnati) have acknowledged Foboha (Germany) GmbH of Haslach as a preferred supplier for 2014. This is the second time since 2013 that the company has received this award. Together with a further 51 suppliers out of a total of 75,000, they were selected for the award at the beginning of 2015. The Excellence Award is made to com- panies who develop a special design that goes hand-in-hand with high quality, using innovations, technical know-how and creative problem-solving tech- niques. This is how A. D.Lafley, P&G’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, explained it at the Award Ceremony in Cincinnati, USA. Foboha have for many years been supplying Procter & Gamble with high-cavitation multi-component moulds with the technologies necessary to enable single face, multi- level or cube techniques. Over recent years P&G have been ordering cube moulds increasingly and in greater quantities. A decisive factor as far as the company was concerned was the high level of production output with shorter cycles. The moulds are used throughout the world in the production of plastic components for the Packaging und Health Care sectors. www.advaltech.com Rainer Armbruster, Managing Director Foboha (Germany) GmbH receives the P&G Award
