This link page was compiled by Marilyn Bakker who was kind enough to let me post it on this site. For daily headlines from the plastics world, go to the Plastics News website, which also has the best directory of North American bottlemakers. Once a year, Plastics News ranks blowmolders by dollar sales. They also show numbers of plants, processes used, and markets served. Subscribers can access all of this information at the website.
News releases are current.
There are links to other sites, including several about polymer technology. Silgan Plastics has its own site, with a facilities map, info about blow processes, and a Performance Highlights section that lists customer certifications. CPC's website shows what it means to be a custom blowmolder. Their Packaging Solutions Center is highlighted, with their own newsletter articles about people and accomplishments. At the end of November, Viag AG and the Alusuisse Lonza Group announced their intention to merge, to become the world's largest broad-based packaging supplier.
