Nature, history, music and culture – Colombia is a land of beauty and unique destinations. Among them is Buga, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the Valley of Cauca. It is here that we also discover Fadeplast, an entrepreneurial excellence, which chose SMI compact stretch-blow moulders from the EBS K Ergon range for the production of PET empty bottles.
Founded in 2013, Fadeplast Buga boasts a prominent position among the producers of PET and rPET empty containers that are mainly intended for the companies in the food and beverage sector.
In order to offer high-quality bottles, the company uses the best raw materials available on the market and machines of the latest generation, such as SMI stretch-blow moulders from the EBS K Ergon range. With the aim of responding to the growing market demands, Fadeplast recently installed the fourth EBS 4 K Ergon rotary stretch-blow moulder, capable of ensuring high competitiveness, fast format changeover and simple and cost-saving management operations.
