Lightweight Containers Launches New UniKeg Line

Den Helder, (the Netherlands) — Today, Lightweight Containers has launched a new family of kegs with the brand name UniKeg. The UniKeg was developed for the American beverage market integrating a standard Sankey D fitting. For the time being, the one-way kegs will only be produced and sold in the United States.

The Lightweight Containers research and development team worked for over two years on this product. They chose a design integrating Lightweight Containers’ know-how and proven technologies. The new keg uses the Double Wall ™ technology, invented by Lightweight Containers, and already in use in its other family of one-way kegs, the KeyKeg.

American brewers were the first to view the new UniKeg during the Craft Brewers Conference in Philadelphia from May 4-6, 2016, where the UniKeg was on display in the 20- and 30-liter versions. The UniKegwill be available in Q4 of 2016, produced in Joliet, Illinois, and delivered to the five Lightweight Containers warehouses for nationwide distribution.
