Recently BERICAP has established a production facility in Singapore. The plant shall provide a direct service to customers in the ASEAN-zone, which were up to now served by a sales office and deliveries from BERICAP China and other BERICAP facilities. It shall be the nucleus for further expansion of sales and production facilities in South East Asia.
In the beginning mainly closures for the non-food and non-beverage market will be produced. Production of beverage closures will follow shortly. The facility has the space and capability to enlarge the product program and to increase the output.
One of the products to be produced by BERICAP Singapore is a screw cap with folded tamper evidence band for the agrochemical industry. The manufacturing process of the closure plus additional safety features make the closure difficult to copy and supports anti counterfeiting measures.
Another product will be a hinge closure for bottlers of soya sauce which require anti-drip features, tamper evidence and a closure design allowing capping of hot filled glass bottles.
BERICAP Singapore is also prepared to produce the well-known 1-piece closure technology DoubleSeal™ for carbonated beverages or hot filling.
BERICAP offers the DoubleSeal™ SuperShorty® for PCO 1881 with safe sealing in form of DoubleSeal™, a well-performing tamper evidence band in form of a slit flexband and closure design which avoids missiling of the closure under hot environmental conditions. For hot filling BERICAP offers the DoubleSeal™ 38 a one-piece closure equipped with the proven DoubleSeal™ system for tight seal. The DoubleSeal™ 38 avoids the costly liner of alternative two-piece closures. In addition DoubleSeal™ 38 provides improved product integrity since two-piece closures vent already after unscrewing a few degrees which may occur accidentally or due to natural back-off.
A well experienced and well trained team provides the basis of high quality and efficiency from BERICAP Singapore. The team will be strongly supported by BERICAP China and BERICAP Germany.
The major part of the volume is exported to countries within the ASEAN-zone. Sales are supported by the BERICAP sales organisation which is reinforced continuously to provide optimal service to customers.
