The company UNITED CAPS is a European leader in development, production and sale of plastic caps and closures from Luxembourg. The enterprise produces custom designed closures for a wide variety of international companies in the packaging markets.
Customers benefit from technical support tailored to meet individual needs and ensures the solution meets expectations.
