BOTTLE MAKING 35 PETplanet Insider Vol. 22 No. 01+02/21 www.petpla.net It is possible that Target Plastic will be adding its own brand to the company’s portfolio at some stage because as Mr Huang explained “We currently have one hot fill line and would like to add one or two more at some point. And we have other ideas for the future. Maybe we will make our own caps, create a private label for water or venture into aseptic filling – we will see. Nevertheless, we can already combine all aspects of pack- aging, production and bottling and so offer a range of different solutions. We regularly receive excellent feedback whenever customers visit our site to look at our production facilities. We want to show how much Taiwan can offer technologically and across cultures and will be pulling out all the stops in this endeavour”. Finally, how has Target Plastic been affected by Covid-19? “Well, business was excellent prior to March 2020. However, we were able to bring in a lot of stock in advance of the pandemic”, said Mr Huang. “April was not a good month for us but we recovered in May because Taiwan had the virus under control quickly. How- ever, we can see that customers from other countries are being very wary in their behaviour or not around at all because their factories have been closed. On top of that, the situation surrounding the number of victims is naturally adding to the uncertainty”. www.tctarget.com Beverage production in full swing
