COCA-COLA China starts using BERICAP’s 1881 SuperShorty for Aseptic and Sparkling PET packages

COCA-COLA China decided already in Quarter 1 2008 to take advantage of reducing material usage by converting their aseptic PET beverage packages from PCO 1810 neck finish to PCO 1881. One of the closures they selected was the 1881 SuperShorty® closure.

Monday 27. July 2009 - COCA-COLA China decided already in Quarter 1 2008 to take advantage of reducing material usage by converting their aseptic PET beverage packages from PCO 1810 neck finish to PCO 1881. One of the closures they selected was the 1881 SuperShorty closure.

After this successful introduction, COCA-COLA China introduced the PCO 1881 neck finish, for carbonated soft drinks PET packages in August 2008 and started using the 1881 SuperShorty from BERICAP for Sparkling beverages in Q1 2009.
BERICAP China is one of the key closure suppliers to COCA-COLA bottlers in China and therefore was invited to perform a major role in the conversion process. Based on its long term experiences in converting production lines to SuperShorty, BERICAP could contribute in a co-operative way to the successful conversion.
BERICAP China is a strong foothold in BERICAP’s conversion activities to 1881 SuperShorty and accordingly BERICAP China will pass the production capacity beyond 1 bln 1881 SuperShorty by end of 2009.
