Gerresheimer, a German manufacturer of primary packaging products, has announced that it is now producing the US type containers and caps in Europe.

The company said that its latest move is due to the increase in demand for US-type format plastic containers and closures for the European market.

The German firm has also planned to relocate the containers and caps production for Europe to its location in Haarby, Denmark to supply the products to the customers in a time-saving and energy-saving manner.

Gerresheimer Primary Plastic Packaging global executive vice-president Niels Düring said: “Sustainability has many facets for us and our customers.

“It’s not just about what we produce, but also how and where. Creating better options for shorter delivery routes is an important point because it saves time, money and energy.

“For this reason, we are now producing our US type containers, which we have previously produced in India for the entire world market, for European needs in Europe.”
