Sinalco: New investments in Yugoslavia
Yugoslavia is becoming an increasingly interesting market for soft drinks in Eastern Europe. This is sufficient reason for Sinalco to invest there. Together with its partner Si & Si, Subotica, located in Voivodina near the Hungarian border, 6 million DM were invested in new buildings, production facilities and distribution this year. The emphasis was on plant and equipment: A new Krones PET compact plant was commissioned in July, comprising a blowing machine, air transport of empty bottles, a Variojet rinser, a Mecafill VKS-PET filler, ink-jet date coding, a Canmatic labelling machine and a Shrinkmaster and other equipment. A new CO2 tank was also installed. The plant has a capacity of 6000 fills/h, all usual PET containers from 0.33 l to 2 l can be handled..
