manufacture with PET to create products that aid in decarbonizing established markets. For instance, beverages are often packaged in carbon-intensive materials like glass or steel, which are heavy, energy intensive to produce and have a high carbon footprint. To address this, we offer a lightweight PET( Polyethylene Terephthalate) plastic alternative. We focus on the beverage sector with solutions for mineral water, carbonated soft drinks, beer, wine, spirits and more. In the beer sector, we provide a one-way keg which serves as a lightweight alternative to traditional steel kegs. This is particularly suited to brewers who export beer. In the soft drinks segment, we produce lightweight preforms which allow customers to blow their own bottles. Our team is especially adept at producing reusable PET products in large format in the form of watercoolers and small format in the form of reusable bottles, which are established in South America, Germany and soon more broadly across the EU,” Jack begins.
As an international company, Petainer manufactures in several countries across Europe and the USA.“ Currently, we have production sites in three countries: two in the USA, one facility in Sweden, and another in Czechia. Lidköping focuses on preforms and bottle production, staffed by a team of experts who manipulate PET and recycled PET resin into bespoke and off the shelf products for major producers in the Nordics. Meanwhile, our Czechia facility specializes in reuse, producing most of our reusable PET bottle solutions, as well as our keg and watercooler products. The USA sites are the newest additions to our footprint, combining expertise in reuse for both large and small formats. In the current political climate Petainer’ s‘ Made In USA’ model has brought the added benefit of protecting our customers from the supply chain uncertainty and cost threat created by the tariff regime. The US sites handle a significant amount of keg production and manufacture
