MOULD MAKING 47 PET planet Insider Vol. 20 No. 06/19 www.petpla.net “On the PET side we produce blow moulds for all the big machine build- ers like Sidel, Sipa, Krones, KHS etc. In the PET business we have seen some mergers in larger companies, and that normally has an effect on us,” said Sergio. “We are also seeing more in-house manufacturing by the big players like Coca-Cola and Pepsi which usually subcontract all their bottle needs; they are both customers of ours. The hot fill application and of course the water market is growing a lot, which is important.” We discussed the water market in detail and Sergio summarised: “Around five years ago nobody thought that the water market would still be growing, but it has. There is a market for premium water and com- modity products. We are definitely more on the commodity side; some of our customers are the very big water fillers. That is more attractive for us, because the orders are bigger. It can be a little bit of a challenge for us because they do not change bottle shapes that often. We target both the premium and the commod- ity product but we do see a little bit more demand on the commodity side.” Tar concludes: “With our young and highly educated team we will focus on project development and prototyping to serve the needs of our customers with a creative approach, supported by use of the latest tech- nology.” www.wentworthmold.com ADHESLEEVE ® TECHNOLOGY THE BEST SOLUTION FOR ROLL-FED LABELLING EVEN ON CANS!
