Although listed on the stock exchange, Resilux is still a family business offering customised products and services to customers in the food, drinks and non- food sectors. “This allows the cus- tomer to choose the most suitable one for their pro- cess and do a ‘real life’ test on their production line,” explains Resilux. Delivery: either pre- forms or blown bottles When designing a bottle for a customer, Resilux aims to add value through the speed and quality of the design process. In addi- tion, they can deliver either preforms (if the customer has a blower of their own) or finished blown bottles from one of their production units. www.resilux.com ‘Real life’ test on the customer’s production line: Sample bottles are blown with different preform designs and weights.
