PLASTIC CLOSURE INNOVATIONS 2015
9-11 June 2015, Sofitel Kurfürstendamm, Berlin, Germany
AMI is pleased to announce Plastic Closure Innovations 2015, the third international conference focused on innovation in the development and production of plastic closures and product delivery mechanisms for both food and non-food markets. This high level event will take place from the 9-11 June 2015 at the Sofitel Kurfürstendamm in Berlin, Germany, and will once again bring together leading brand owners, closure makers, and materials and technology suppliers.
New packaging trends and initiatives, together with increasing
penetration of plastic bottles and ongoing product innovation, are fuelling the development of novel closure solutions. Key market drivers include improved functionality, convenience and increased shelf impact - plastic closures are valued by brand owners for their aesthetic contribution to product image as well as for consumer appeal in terms of ease-of-use and dosing management.
Some 55% of European closure production is destined for beverage applications. Bottled water continues to drive growth in this sector, while an increasing focus on health has seen CSD consumption slow. However, the trend to smaller beverage containers and development of water flavour enhancers are creating new opportunities for closure makers. In the non-beverage sector, toiletries and cosmetics lead the European market in polymer consumption terms. Product concentration is driving innovation in areas such as household.
For many moulders, the focus today is on capturing more value through optimised operations, lean manufacturing and cost reduction, while working ever closer with customers to create unique, more specialist designs for ultimate product differentiation. All this is taking place against a background of growing environmental awareness.
Plastic Closure Innovations 2015 provides a unique learning and networking opportunity within which leading brand owners and fillers, closures producers, packaging manufacturers, designers and suppliers to the industry can explore all the latest developments in the plastics closures industry and identify the future strategies for adding value across the supply chain.
