SACMI webinar attended by 600 global users

Organised as part of the SACMI Virtual Interpack 2020, the “Tethered by SACMI” webinar held on 16 June 2020, was attended by 600 users from 227 firms from 22 countries.

SACMI’s new integrated system for tethered caps (i.e. caps that remain attached to the bottle after opening) were introduced four years ahead of the new regulatory framework, and the market. The advantage of the SACMI line lies in a range of flexible solutions that integrate a new-concept cap feeder with the scoring machine and the cap/anti-tamper band inspection system.

High attendance at the webinar reflected huge interest by a market that is gearing up for 2024, when tethered caps are set to become the new industry standard with the coming into force of the EU Directive.

The webinar format also gave participants a chance to ask questions in real time. During the meeting, SACMI received over 100 requests for further information. The event also generated considerable interest in the new PFMC (the downstream inspection system, equipped with the CVS CUT unit, which checks for proper anti-tamper band performance).

What's more, the entire SACMI Closures, Containers & PET sales team is busy organising one-to-one conference calls with all the users who registered on the platform and requested in-depth info on specific aspects.

This initiative sees SACMI strengthen its technological leadership on the Closures market. That leadership will be crucial over the coming months in allowing us to intercept and support our customers' investments decisions, in every corner of the globe.
