It is with profound sadness that we share the news that Hubert Gaasch - Member of the UNITED CAPS Board of Directors, passed away on 26th September 2021, aged 75 years, as the result of a tragic accident.

Hubert has been a pioneering spirit and driving force in our organisation since the 1970’s and his legacy is forever entwined with that of UNITED CAPS. A man of significant vision, he joined Resibel in Hoboken and set about growing the company through partnerships and acquisitions until early in the 21st Century when he created PROCAP.

By the time of his retirement from day to day operations in 2013 and subsequent continued involvement as a Member of the Board of Directors, Hubert had grown the company to a significant European scale. It is a major achievement in life to leave things better than one found them and Hubert had the desire, skill and tenacity to accomplish that.

All at UNITED CAPS mourn his loss together with his family, to whom we send our most heartfelt condolences.

We are blessed to have known and learned from Hubert as we continue his work.

At UNITED CAPS we are working to ensure that we continue to respond effectively to the Covid-19 (coronavirus) outbreak.

With lockdown measures in many countries starting to be adjusted, UNITED CAPS is monitoring and responding to developments. Our business continuity response teams have taken additional steps to protect the UNITED CAPS family of customers, suppliers, team members and the communities of which we are part. 

What we’ve learned together has helped us all develop the best practices that are assisting enormously in our global response.

We have taken appropriate precautions, including implementing alternative work arrangements at our facilities and offices, limiting travel, and enhancing hygiene procedures.

We’re bringing the same creativity and passion to meeting this challenge that we do in everything else we undertake and are supplying at normal levels, providing many of the products essential to our way of life.  Every day, we are inspired by and grateful for; the commitment shown by our employees to support our markets during these unprecedented times.

UNITED CAPS is taking part in two international trade shows at the end of November.
On November 21st and 22nd, UNITED CAPS will exhibit at the 6th Dairy Asia Pacific Summit,  One Farrer Hotel in Singapore.  Nele Stevens, Product Marketing Manager and Sébastien Hottlet, Business Director APAC will be featured presenters on their topic “Designed for Dairy : A Customer Oriented Approach to the Development of Innovative Closures” at the show. Come find us both days on booth F.

Hot on the heels of that event will be another demonstration of UNITED CAPS global reach when representatives will attend the Shanghai World of Packaging trade show at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre from November 25th to November 28th. An innovative portfolio of packaging solutions will be displayed on booth N2A44.

October 17th represented a historic day for the entire UNITED CAPS organisation with simultaneous events being held all over the globe to mark the twin occasions of the organisation’s 80th Birthday and the inauguration of the new factory in Kulim, Malaysia; The first built outside of continental Europe.

UNITED CAPS employees marked this legacy of progress with celebratory events and gifts followed by the entire organisation tuning in live to witness CEO Benoit Henckes deliver a landmark speech inaugurating the facility via live feed.

Henckes in front of a Malaysian audience that included local dignitaries, customers and media remarked how the convergence of the 80th birthday with the Kulim opening represented the transformation of UNITED CAPS from a regional into a global player.  “The end of one era and the birth of an exciting new one.”
