Industry leaders gather to share best practices and learn about trends in PET and preform manufacturing<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"NRAug20_NAPCOReventFINAL\"BOLTON, Ontario \u2013 On July 22, 2015, Husky Injection Molding Systems and the National Association for PET Container Resources (NAPCOR<\/a>) joined together to host a one-day event at Husky\u2019s global headquarters in Bolton, Ontario, Canada. The event was held during the first day of NAPCOR’s summer membership meeting and was attended by more than 50 business leaders from throughout North America. In addition to insightful presentations, engaging discussions, and networking opportunities attendees were given access to Husky\u2019s facilities, labs and technology development programs and learned first-hand how the company is committed to developing PET preform injection molding solutions that improve quality and provide the most value to customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were very happy to be given the opportunity to host this event on behalf of NAPCOR,\u201d said Nicolas Rivollet, Husky\u2019s Director of Business Development. \u201cHusky has always had a vested interest in promoting innovation and pushing the industry forward. Our relationship with NAPCOR provides us with invaluable insight that we apply to developing state-of-the-art technology for the beginning of the PET packaging supply chain, while allowing us to be mindful of how our technologies impact the end of that supply chain.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event included networking forums, product demonstrations, as well as presentations from Husky and industry experts. Carol Hochu, President and CEO of the Canadian Plastics Industry Association, delivered a presentation discussing Canadian plastics and sustainability. Also presenting was Pieterjan Van Uytvanck from The PCI Consulting Group, Xylenes and Polyesters, on the topic of Sustainability in the Polyester Value Chain and the Impact of Raw Materials. In addition, a key presentation by Husky covered the topic of PET Packaging Trends. NAPCOR representatives closed the day by presenting Husky with an Appreciation Award for the company\u2019s ongoing support of the PET industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were extremely happy with how the day turned out and appreciate Husky opening their doors to host this event,\u201d said Tom Busard, NAPCOR Chairman and Chief Procurement Officer for Plastipak Packaging. \u201cOur goal as an organization is to work collaboratively with all of our members. Husky\u2019s experience in PET has given them exposure to the largest base of PET customers in North America. Our relationship with members like Husky provides us with insight into current and future packaging design trends driven by their customers and consumers, as well as an understanding of how these trends could impact the PET industry in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Founded in 1987, NAPCOR is the trade association for the PET plastic packaging industry in the United States and Canada. NAPCOR represents the full PET value chain, from resin production, to bottle and thermoform production, to key industry suppliers, to PET reclaimers. This broad representation allows NAPCOR to offer perspectives on the PET industry, PET recycling, and the overall use of PET as an environmentally sustainable package. Moving forward, NAPCOR will continue to foster innovation in design and function of PET as a packaging material, as well as support recyclability and recycled content as an integral feature of the PET package.<\/p>\n
