PET bottles are recycled on site and then transformed from bales , to flakes , to sheets and finally into the end products
‘ we are in a bind , we need to do something quickly , can you help us out ?’ and we do .” Another facet of the firm ’ s flexibility emerges from the standardization of RIG ’ s facilities . Having the same equipment in every facility , including extrusion , thermoforming and auxiliary kit “ allows us to send tools around all of our facilities depending on what the customer needs and when ,” Kunal adds .
Basing manufacturing on a standardized technology platform requires RIG to maintain close relationships with a number of key suppliers . For extrusion for example , the business works with Diamat which provides them with turnkey lines that include some auxiliary elements . For cooling it has been working with Frigel . The Californian facility initially relied on air cooled chillers as the only cooling process , this proved too inefficient and so in collaboration with Frigel , the company worked to find an effective solution . The new system can match water temperature and flow to any kind of process with any product .
Having evolved its manufacturing capabilities over the years , RIG now oversees a substantial global operation running a closed loop process across standardized facilities . Optimizing efficiencies has kept the company agile and able to meet every customer ’ s needs which will be key in securing its bold ambitions of becoming the number one provider of fully recyclable rPET packaging . ■
