Esterform Packaging of Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire have announced that they will be creating additional capacity of 1 billion PET preforms. This significant investment takes Esterform's overall PET preform capability to 2.6 billion units.
The new capacity will be created by purchasing four new Husky HPP 4.0 production lines.
All four lines will be installed in Esterform's dedicated preform plant in Leeds. Two lines are currently in construction with the first arriving in February 2015 and the second line in early March 2015. The third and fourth lines will be added in the autumn of 2015.
Mark Tyne the founder of Esterform stated “now that we have committed to becoming a merchant supplier of preforms, this equipment coupled with the fleet of Piovan Genesys driers and automated AGV's will allow us to fulfill our growth and environmental strategy.”
