Union of Ukrainian Entrepreneurs to visit PET Technologies plant

On July 2, a delegation of members of the Union of Ukrainian Entrepreneurs (SUP) visited PET Technologies as part of the Company Visit project. There were representatives of mechanical engineering and the service sector, light manufacturing and food industry.

Founder and Head of the Supervisory Board Alexander Suvorov spoke about the path of creation and development of PET Technologies. The guests were acquainted with the goods and services of the company, learned the stages of a PET bottle design, saw the full cycle of blow molding equipment and molds production.

“We are a full-cycle company, we start with metal and create blow molding equipment with more than 15 thousand parts made within the walls of PET Technologies!”, said Aleksandr Suvorov.

The guests had unique chance to see our latest development in action – a universal automatic blow molding machine for PET containers APF-Max 4L with a capacity of up to 7000 bph, 0.2 – 3.0 liters. The machine is equipped with a special short-wave near-infrared (NIR) heating system. This method is not common in the PET container market, although it provides more efficient heating of the preform with less energy consumption.

The excursion continued in the blow molding workshop. It is equipped with 4- and 5-axis CNC machines from world known brands. Thus, the guests saw the processing of blow molds with the GF + Mikron Mill 600 U Mold making process is finished in this machine! Additional surface polishing is not required, thus significantly reduces the production time!

Upon completion of the main part, the guests gathered at PET Technologies conference hall. They exchanged experience and discussed issues that had accumulated during the excursion. They touched upon the topic of investments and reinvestments, the process of building communications in the team and PET market trends in Ukraine and worldwide.

One of the participants has noted: “God, what a beautiful office!”. The delegation highly appreciated the office and production complex of PET Technologies, which exports its goods and services to more than 50 countries at 4 continents!
