Visit beer bottling plant in Suzhou, explore beer market PET application potentials & more at PETresin Xchange 2010

Posted on : 20 Jul, 2010

 

According to GBI Research, the largest market for PET is carbonated soft drinks (CSD) while the second biggest is bottled water, with both accounting for more than 65% of the global PET demand.

 

There is, however, one other market that has strong potential for growth (with regards to PET applications) but is widely untapped – the beer market.

 

At the PETresin Xchange in Shanghai happening from 16-18 November, 2010, the spotlight on the beer market will provided by Ms Fanny Liao, Managing Director of Sino-Belgium Beer (Suzhou) who is speaking on ‘PET integration in Asia – from Fossil-based to Bio-based in Raw Materials & from Fiber to Beer in Applications’.

 

Additionally, there will also be a site visit to an integrated beer preform/bottling plant in Suzhou, SBBZ, where the brewing technology comes from a 252-year brewer in Bocholt, Belgium.

 

The joint venture between Sino-Belgium Beer, Suzhou and Martens, Belgium produces preforms, coated PET beer bottles and beer. It’s the only integrated facility packaging beer in PET in China.

 

So don’t miss out on PETresin Xchange, the platform where buyers meet sellers!
