Industry News
Spray Products Corp., a manufacturer of aerosol and liquid
consumer products, has officially taken ownership of a 270,000
square-foot facility in Medina, OH. The addition of this site will
increase the company’s blending and filling capabilities for all types
of consumer and commercial products including paints, coatings,
adhesives, lubricants, and automotive products. Spray Products
plans to have its distribution functions in operation by early April,
with manufacturing set to start in mid-May. This new location is
at the former site of Valspar subsidiary Plasti-Kote, also an aerosol
manufacturer. Valspar closed in 2016 and the building was later purchased
by Sherwin-Williams Co.; it has remained vacant since then.
Lindal Group has opened a new application laboratory at its location
in Briey, France dedicated to bag-on-valve (BOV) technologies.
Here customers launching new BOV products can obtain product
samples, develop product specifications and test protocols, conduct
compatibility
studies and
learn more
about the
advantages
of barrier
packaging
systems.. The
laboratory
is located next to Lindal’s Global Innovation Centre (GIC), which
opened in 2013 as an R&D hub for aerosol dispensing solutions.
A new Plastic Aerosol Recycling Special Industry Group (SiG) has
been created by Petcore Europe and the European Aerosol Federation
(FEA) to anticipate the need to recycle higher amounts
of plastic aerosols and discover ways to increase the recycling
volumes of PET products from the household packaging waste
stream in Europe. This was spurred by the FEA-created Aerosol
Dispenser Directive (ADD) which will potentially allow plastic
aerosols beyond 220mL capacity in Europe by 2020 and will
likely grow the production of larger plastic aerosols.
