Green packaging for the sustainably-minded consumer

RETAL is one of the largest PET preform manufacturers in Europe and central Asia with sights set on international expansion. “RETAL produces packaging solutions for companies all over the world in the food and beverage industry for water, carbonated beverages, juice, milk, as well as for cosmetics and household goods,” Andrew Huestis, public relations director, RETAL said. “We produce screw caps, also called closures, as well as preforms, which are tube-like pieces of plastic that are blown, using a process called stretch blow molding, into a PET container.” In addition to producing standard preforms from its extensive range, which vary in neck finish, weight, color and shape, RETAL also manufactures custom preforms tailored to individual customer requirements. “The packaging industry is driven by sustainability and time to market as well as by innovation because customers want distinctive packaging. We strive to excel in all three,” Huestis said.
