We will be responding to market demands, and brand owners are looking for more diversity in the offering.” This success story will continue, Admir emphasises: “Retal is a global company working in the market since the 90s. Because it is privately held company, we still try to act as a small company, reacting quickly to customer requirements, thinking the impossible. Ours is a holistic approach: we offer cap, preform and bottle, and we can also supply the label too. In the pre- planning stage, we can offer design, development and even marketing strategy. We see ourselves as facilita- tors, making our customers’ wishes reality. We identify ourselves as driv- ers, delivering solutions that may not even have been thought of, we think ahead.” www.retalgroup.com www.husky.co www.engelglobal.com www.imdvista.ch A 100% reliable machine-combination: Husky’s HyCap 300 with IMD Closure Testing System
