At a customer event in France, United Caps presented new closures and lids for dairy products and infant formula. With its close-to-you strategy, the company wants to open up new business areas in both sectors and be closer to its customers.
At the event United Caps presented a new product that has been specially developed to meet the needs of the baby food and dairy markets. The customised Biostime closure for the Health & Happiness Group is a holistic packaging solution. Due to its extensive expertise in this area, more than half of the caps produced are customised. The company's products are customised to meet specific customer requirements.
„As a brand of the Health & Happiness Group, we strive for excellence. This goal is part of our DNA. In order to develop a new cap that meets these quality standards and the nutritional requirements of the next generation, we looked for a partner who shares our passion for innovation that pushes the boundaries of the conventional. This search led us to United Caps and ultimately resulted in a product characterised by an uncompromising commitment to quality and safety.“
Health & Happiness Group
The company is recognised as Industry standard for snap-on lids and spoons for powdered milk cans for infant formula recognised. Brand owners and bottlers are also advised on how to optimise the shelf impact of the products. The labeller responsible for the Health & Happiness Group developed Biostime closure is an example of the bi-injection manufacturing process.
„For many years, United Caps has attached great importance to sustainability. Throughout the organisation, we have a strong focus on the environmental impact of our operations and products. Our latest product, developed in partnership with the Health & Happiness Group, and our standard portfolio clearly demonstrate our ability to balance functionality and sustainability. When developing our lids and closures, we make sure that their performance benefits are optimised in production, on the shelf, in the hands of the consumer and for our planet.“
Benoit Henckes, CEO of United Caps
The company is also an industry leader in the development of tethered caps (TC). The EU directive also affects some producers of dairy products. As a result, the company is introducing a tethered cap as part of its UCTC product range. New range of caps permanently attached to the bottle which promises maximum compliance with the EU directive with minimum disruption to its milk customers.
