Challenges facing PET preform manufacturers today
Panelists: Wolfgang Bonerath, CEO, Rawoplast GmbH Otto Hofstetter, Owner and CEO, Otto Hofstetter AG Reto Bamert, Global Sales Director, Otto Systems
Moderator: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Otto Appel, OTH Regensburg and PETnology
The economics of PET preform production are at the heart of the challenges facing manufacturers today. But how can this be achieved in the face of volatile raw material prices and record energy costs? What is the impact of the increasing importance of product sustainability and EU requirements for recycled content? How are manufacturers meeting their customers’ demands for flexibility, delivery times and availability? What new requirements will manufacturers face as their customers ask them to report on their carbon footprint and ESG performance? How will skills shortages affect the production and operation of high performance systems?
Otto Appel will discuss these and other questions with his guests: Otto Hofstetter from Otto Hofstetter AG and Reto Bamert from Otto Systems, representing the supplier part, and Wolfgang Bonerath from Rawoplast GmbH as their customer.
