An investment construction project to complete a unit for sunflower oil refining and bottling at Poltava Crushing Plant is gathering speed. On 19 January a contract for supplying packaging equipment – a complete process line for pouring sunflower oil in polyethylene bottles – was signed with the German SIG Corpoplast company. The scheme chosen allows flexible control of line productivity. To double equipment capacity needs merely one unit of the line to be changed (blowing machine). Further increase of capacity will take not more than one month. Equipment will have been delivered to Poltava Crushing Plant by the end of June 2005, the line will have been installed by the end of July and production start up is planned for the end of August 2005. SIG Corpoplast is a German subsidiary of the SIG group, a world supply leader with 30 years of experience in design, production, sales and maintenance of machines and systems for manufacturing polyethylene bottles. According to data for 2003, the company has 9000 employees, while total sales for the period reached 1.9 billon Euros. At the end of 2004 the company supplied a blowing machine for increasing mineral water production capacity of the famous Borjomi brand for 2 whole days. This month Western Container Corporation owned by Coca-Cola is expected to put into operation the 1000th blowing machine of SIG Corpoplast in the USA. The construction process is definitely reaching its goal!
