Kiefel cashing in on cup forming in Asia
G
erman thermoforming machinery supplier Kiefel has seen sales of its KTR4 cup forming thermoformers increasing in Asia, said Regional Manager of Sales Willem Julienne, speaking to PRA at the recent P&R Indonesia exhibition in Jakarta."In fact, in Indonesia the market is booming, especially since the consumption is about 5 billion a year," he said, adding that there was enough business to go around for all machine makers.
Almost 95% of its business in Asia focuses on the sale of thermoformers for the production of yoghurt cups, drinking cups, cups for use with snap-on lids or plant-pots. "All countries in Asia are growing, especially China and Thailand. But in the future, we will focus on lines for the production of IV bags with integrated filling, which is possible with the newly-developed IV Express, welding-technology," he said.
