Already a trusted and preferred development supplier to Lesieur, a leading French player in the vegetable oils and sauces sector, UNITED CAPS has further strengthened its relationship with the creation of a specific two-piece 29/21 closure for PET bottles. The innovative closure comprises a cap that can be rotated around the spout to adjust oil flow. The solution more than meets Lesieur’s high standards for sealing and perceived quality. It also exemplifies our experience and know-how in the edible oils market.

Ireland-based Kerry Group, world leader in the baby food industry, called on UNITED CAPS to develop bespoke products for one of its Asian customers. The tailor-made 8.1ml scoop and embossed overcap meet the precise needs of BeingMate, a leading Chinese infant formula manufacturer. The partnership not only introduces UNITED CAPS to the Chinese market, but also puts us in an ideal position to support the development of Kerry Group’s intermediate moisture foods (IMF) business.

Struggling to attach caps to its glass bottles, MIGASA, Spain’s market leader in the edible oil sector, turned to UNITED CAPS. Our technical experts identified and solved the issue quickly with a more optimal closure. Our two-piece closure "29/21 PRO2P" (CV0290A) closure fits both glass Verplast and PET bottles and has been specifically designed for the edible oils market. Delighted with the solution and service, MIGASA has asked UNITED CAPS to design and deliver further closures for its operations in other manufacturing facilities.

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.

The unique design of UNITED CAPS’s 38 PROLINE closure makes reliable capping more achievable. This innovative solution offers increased efficiency and improved productivity in the filling of sensitive beverages, such as juices and milks.
