Having proved that we could design and produce running moulds and stacking lines for measuring scoops for infant milk within a very short timeframe (6 months), we now supply Danone, a world leader in the food industry, with scoops for all its baby nutrition plants in Europe. The customised 9.5ml, 10ml and 10.5ml scoops are included in both metallic and composite cans. Today, UNITED CAPS is the preferred supplier for such scoops to Danone in Europe.

Our innovative 29/25 PROSPRING hinged cap for non-carbonated beverages has enabled UNITED CAPS to remain the sole supplier of this type of product to ÁGUA DO FASTIO, a leading seller of drinking water and related products in Portugal. The ergonomic closure has been specifically designed for 29/25 PET bottles and is extremely easy to open for end users. The deal with ÁGUA DO FASTIO provides UNITED CAPS with a significant presence in the Portuguese mineral water market and, supplying a premium brand, makes us a main reference.

PROCAP wants to thank all its visitors for showing interest in our company, and all (future) customers for their time & effort to visit our booth. We count on all of you for our next event!

Proprietary approach to research & development, design and testing assures faster development of high-quality solutions, saving time and costs for customers.

PROCAP has once more enhanced its unique Lab Capper system to offer more intense and comprehensive testing of caps and closures. The Lab Capper replicates conditions found at the customer site to enable assessment of how its caps and closures will perform once introduced to capping lines. Testing in such a laboratory setting enables changes and adjustments to be made to shape or design quickly and with no disruption to lines or customers’ businesses.

To date, PROCAP is the only producer of plastic caps and closures in Europe to own such a system and be able to offer such a beneficial service.

The Lab Capper was developed and first introduced in mid-2012. PROCAP will continue to enhance the system and service it offers to provide even greater value to customers, expand its business and stay ahead of market demands. It represents just one prong of the company’s growth strategy of continual learning and the ongoing enhancement of its global service model.

Requiring a solution for its just-in-time demands, INEX NV, a producer of high-quality dairy products, turned to UNITED CAPS. Our novel "38 PROFLATSEAL" closure is now used for the large majority of INEX’s 2 litre HDPE containers of fresh milk. It has helped the customer not only increase the visibility of its products on the shelf but also heightened end-user awareness. It has also made UNITED CAPS a preferred supplier of such caps to the Inexco Group.

Innovative technologies, processes and products have enabled the company to reduce CO² emissions. It’s also helping customers realise similar results.

The latest carbon impact study (2012) from PROCAP shows that the company has achieved an impressive 15% reduction in carbon equivalent from the transformation of resin into products since 2008. PROCAP has witnessed significant economic growth during this timeframe; however, this has not been mirrored by an increase in CO² emissions. Between 2008 and 2012, PROCAP increased sales from 4.8 to 6.4 billion caps. Despite this rise in production, its CO² footprint remained stable.

With the aim to ensure all sites were ISO 14001 certified, PROCAP first evaluated its environmental impact as a Group in 2008. Three main areas were identified where savings could be made: energy consumption, final waste and plastic scraps. These have been the principal points of focus.

PROCAP’s efforts in this area are ongoing and it expects to be able to report further reductions in the future.

We have achieved remarkable growth over the last half Century. During that time we have cultivated a global service model to ensure customers always benefit from high-quality solutions that add real value. Our experts share ideas and best practice to persistently enhance all aspects of our model. We are committed to helping them achieve this via constant development. Remaining ahead of industry trends, we continue to address the needs of new markets and applications, as well as striving to devise ever-greener products. We will continue to exceed expectations for the future.
