Primarily focused on innovations and improvements in GEC equipment.

  • Covers areas such as extrusion systems, flow heads, aseptic systems, trimmers, & processing developments.
  • Support molding trials.
  • Mold and material developments.

Development Engineering
The design, development, and commercialization of blow molding equipment.

  • This group can start with a “blank sheet of paper” and flesh out the complete concept for a machine.
  • As the design comes together, these engineers work with Mechanical and Electrical Engineering to complete the design of the entire machine.

Complete Development Support

  • Unit cavity mold trials and container/part development
  • Test & develop new concepts
  • Develop higher productivity from extruders, wheels, trimmers, other components
  • Materials and multi-layer bottle development
  • Process control optimization and article measurement/statistics
  • Design and process capability for optimizing material savings
