Dear readers,
We are glad to present the second issue of our newsletter, in which we are again touching various subjects regarding bottle closures.
In particular, we are proud to report the opening of our new factory in Cairo - one step forward in another continent, on which in the last few years we have noticed a considerable increase of our market share.
This is another mark of our expansion at a time when we can only win the preference of our common customers if we are able to work as partners, with a clear vision of the global picture, and the full mastery of our resources and energies.
Wishing you a successful summer.
Best regards,
Pascal Piroué

| Our first production plant in Africa |
 |
 |
 |
|
We are happy to announce the opening of our first production unit outside Europe, Pelliconi Egypt S.A.E., a joint venture between Pelliconi and Dr. Tarek Massoud, a well known local entrepreneur.
The aim of our manufacturing presence in Egypt is to become an active player in the growth of the African economy, establishing our local production on the African Continent.
In the new plant – located in the El Obour Industrial area in Cairo – we will manufacture 26 mm crowns according to our well established quality standards; production lines will be the state of the art in the crown manufacturing industry and we will also provide full technical and commercial support from the Italian headquarters in order to guarantee consistency with production coming from the existing Pelliconi plants.

| Our technicians – at your service |
 |
Over the years we have seen our closures used in the widest range of possible conditions, all over the world and on machines of every type. We learned to evaluate and measure all parameters that would affect the performance of all closures, and to fine-tune the capping equipment to reach the highest efficiency and avoid many common problems during and after bottling.
The vast knowledge base and the expertise acquired by our technicians has always been used to improve the quality of our products and services; now we have decided to offer our experience not just as a supplier, but also as a consultant to any bottler that wishes to take advantage of it. Two different audit packages are available for each line of products, at very competitive conditions – your Pelliconi representative will be glad to give you details. |

| Let’s start thinking about the environment |
 |
It’s a small planet, and the only one we’ve got – so we all need to have a proactive approach towards the environment. It not only our duty, but it also makes good business sense, as waste equals inefficiency and therefore additional costs; and we can expect legislators to increase taxes on all one-way packaging.
We can begin with one small, very easy suggestion: if you are still receiving our closures on one-way pallets, why not move to CHEP pallets? After you have used our products, the pallets will continue their journey in the CHEP system, and you will have less waste to be eliminated. And they are also sturdier, at no extra cost.
We are also at work on reducing the environmental footprint of the closures themselves, and you can expect to see innovative proposals from us in the coming months. Watch this space!
