In 2014,
it was spun off from Closure Systems International (CSI),
and currently produces over three billion aluminum
closures annually in 28 and 30 millimeter diameters
suitable for any type of still, carbonated or alcoholic
beverage packaged in glass, PET or aluminum bottles.
Sealing of reusable
glass bottles with rim imperfections presents an even
greater challenge compared to sealing of one-way,
disposable bottles.
In addition, the GLS TPE from Avient passed migration,
extraction and sensory testing by Nehring Institute as
required by food contact regulations (EU) 10/2011 and
FDA 177.1210.
