Greiner Packaging International has won the confidence of Romania’s biggest hygiene products manufacturer Hexi Pharma to supply it with plastic bottles for its disinfectants destined for hospitals across the country.

Since December 2015, when it won over this new customer, the Kremsmünster, Austria-based packaging group has been packaging Hexi products in blow moulded 1,000ml HDPE bottles.

Hexi Pharma has been providing disinfectants and cleaning agents to a range of clinics, hospitals, laboratories, hotels and schools across Romania for more than 20 years.

Greiner was able to assure its new customer it could supply safe, certified packaging which is capable of meeting regulations for the transit of dangerous goods on European roads, the moulder said.

“We impressed our customer above all with our high production standards,” commented Günter Ausserw?ger, sales director of Greiner’s Kavo packaging division. “We have many years of experience in this industry and we know what the specialists need in this sector.”

Bottles for the contract are produced in two different mouth sizes and changes can be carried out using a single tool thanks to interchangeable attachments. This provided a cost effective process resulting in significant cost savings for the customer, the executive explained.

Greiner Packaging’s Romanian subsidiary operates three production plants in the country, including a joint venture with Greek packaging firm Thrace Plastics in ?elimb?r.

Greiner Romania, which last year reported annual sales of around €38m, is expected to increase its sales by 5% during 2016.
