Petainer can be found at KHS, Hall B4 stand 328, and PET Technologies, Hall A4 stand 542.
Petainer, the market leader in innovative PET packaging, is to showcase its petainerKeg™ portfolio at this year’s Drinktec in Munich. Petainer will be collaborating with KHS, its official distribution partner, and with blowing experts PET Technologies and SIDE at the event.
The petainerKeg™ portfolio which comprises petainerKeg™ Classic, petainerKeg™ with USD top and sleeve, and petainerKeg™ Linestar, has been developed in partnership with breweries around the world. Petainer’s customers include three top ten global brewers, as well as well-known craft brewers such as Oskar Blues and Stone Brewing in the USA, Ale Browar of Poland and Rothhammer in Chile.
Petainer will also be previewing the final prototype of its new petainerKeg™ Hybrid ahead of its launch in early 2018.
The petainerKeg™ one-way product range is a more economical and efficient alternative to traditional steel kegs and glass bottles, helping brewers improve profitability, and reduce the cost of entering new markets and launching new products.
PetainerKeg™ is used only once and is fully recyclable, cutting out costly return logistics and washing processes. In addition to significant cost of ownership and sustainability benefits, it provides enhanced product protection, making sure that the beer is as good as the day it was brewed for over nine months*.
Annemieke Hartman-Jemmett, Petainer’s Group Commercial Director said: “Petainer is enjoying growing demand for its petainerKeg™ range as one-way kegs are being adopted by both the global breweries and the craft sector, thanks to the lower cost of the system and to sustainability benefits. We are delighted to join our partners KHS, PET Technologies and SIDE at Drinktec to offer customers high-quality, innovative packaging and filling solutions.”
