16.04.2008 - CORVAGLIA and Italian FERRARELLE SPA sign Agreement on PCO Corvaglia short neck

Eschlikon, Switzerland / Riardo, Italy, 13. February 2008.

The prestigious company Ferrarelle is the first big Italian water brand to introduce the attractive short neck solution PCO Corvaglia.

The PCO Corvaglia neck finish offers best results in the race for material savings without scarifying performance and with maximum compatibility with existing preform equipment, blowing machines and filling lines.

“ It is an honour to us for being one of the main suppliers for high quality plastic closures to Ferrarelle’s Riardo and Boario plants”, says Thomas Anderegg, CEO of Corvaglia Closures. “Corvaglia will shoot and ship the product according to Ferrarelle’s indications and we have reserved sufficient capacity for the next two years.”

“In the record time of only six month we evaluated the new short neck and closure from Corvaglia and took the decision to go ahead with this attractive solution” explains Managing Director of Ferrarelle, Giuseppe Cerbone. “Main reasons for working with Corvaglia are the quality and performance of the closures and the compatibility of the new short neck with our existing installations.”
