PTI will be the exclusive US agent responsible for the sales and licensing of several new Toyo Seikan PET bottle processing technologies for packaging applications.
“PTI has been developing packaging solutions for brand owners for more than three decades,” said Scott Steele, president. “Toyo Seikan is known as a packaging innovator with a proven global track record. This new representation agreement will be one more way for PTI to deliver the latest cutting-edge, plastic-based packaging technology to its brand-owner clients.”
One of the areas that the two companies will be working together on is new foamed PET bottle technology, which produces lightweight containers with good barrier attributes and striking visual/tactile attributes.
The companies are expected to unveil more details about the new technology, and its potential impact on beverage packaging in the US, in the coming months.
“PTI has been a developer and integrator of new packaging technologies for many well-known brands in the US,” said Toshio Sue, deputy head of technical headquarters, Toyo Seikan. “Due to our compatible areas of interest and ongoing working relationship, it was logical to take the relationship to a more formal level. PTI’s extensive PET expertise and longstanding client relationships will be a big asset in helping us commercialise our proven technologies in the US marketplace.”
