According to media reports, Malaysia’s Fraser&Neave Holdings Bhd, which operates in the food and beverage sector, started a new PET bottling manufacturing line at its plant in Shah Alam. The line, which started operations in June 2016, is said to be worth RM45 million ($10 million).
The new PET line is expected to raise the company’s bottle production by 40% year on year, the reports revealed. Also, it will reportedly enhance the production efficiency and reduce the pre-bottling storage as bottles are automatically blow formed, filled and capped in an integrated and automated system. This will also mean, for the company, using the space and energy more efficiently.
The company expects to be able to meet the demand faster and more efficiently with its new PET line, reports indicated.
