All the company’s Swiss activities are now consolidated at one location, following the acquisitions of Altoplast in 2000 and Femit Plastic in 2001. The facility has 10 injection moulding lines for PET preforms and blowing lines with a capacity of more than 150 million bottles a year. It employs 80 people.

The company estimated saving E3m as a result of the reorganisation, which has closed five plants and led to the disposal of two blow moulding factories. Resilux’s E12m investment plan for 2004 includes two more blowing machines for Bilten.
