Krones acquires rights to TripleS

Claire Phoenix19 Apr 2010

Krones of Germany has signed an agreement with the Canadian firm CCL Industries covering the development and marketing of labelling technology for TripleS stretch-​sleeve films.

TripleS is specially developed by CCL, exhibiting a high degree of elasticity and capable of decorating the entire surface of contoured containers, comparable to conventional shrink-​sleeve applications.

Krones AG is developing a new labeller designed specifically for TripleS sleeves, scheduled for market launch in late 2010.

Guenther Birkner, vice president of the CCL Group, said: “This alliance enables us to make TripleS as a new form of decoration accessible to our customers all over the world significantly faster. Which means CCL can concentrate on its core business of producing labels, and further extend its technological lead.”

CCL Industries employs about 5,700 people and operates 59 production facilities worldwide. CCL is the world’s largest producer of pressure-​sensitive labels and a leading manufacturer of stretch and shrink sleeves.
