Amcor’s Stelvin Delights the Expanding World of Screw Cap Wine
The Stelvin screw cap technology is now recognized and trusted worldwide as a packaging solution which offers many benefits and long-term sustainable solutions for wine makers and wine lovers alike.
Sep 23 2011 --- “Evidence lies in the tremendous growth not only of the screw cap market which has seen an increase from 300 million units in 2003 to 3.6 billion in 2011, but in the continuous growth the Stelvin cap is experiencing in the double-digits since 2002,” says Karen Quirchove, Marketing Manager for Amcor Flexibles Capsules. “This is a reflection of our customers’ trust in our product and, with a predicted market growth of over 50% from now until 2016, the Stelvin screw cap is well placed to continue to delight its customers.”
Very recently, following convincing results from their research conducted from 2005 to 2010, well- known American producer Hogue Cellars decided to use Stelvin for its entire production. Hogue’s study was the first to be carried out on a commercial bottling line on a large scale under controlled conditions and with published results.
Bold and committed to excellence, the Stelvin screw cap continues to stand out from the competition thanks to Amcor’s expertise and the Stelvin technology which contributes to the producer's success among consumers.
