Petainer Unveils petainerKeg Linestar

20 Nov 2014 --- Petainer, the leading PET and plastics packaging company for beverages has unveiled the petainerKeg Linestar at BrauBeviale 2014 in Nuremberg. The petainerKeg Linestar is based on the petainerKeg classic blown, one-way, recyclable PET keg, and features a significantly redesigned outer shell which enables it to fit specifically on existing steel-keg filling lines; reduce logistics costs by up to 30% and maintain taste quality equal to that of steel.

Petainer Group Commercial Strategy Director, Annemieke Hartman-Jemmett says, “It used to be unthinkable to transport beer, wine and cider in steel kegs, instead of wood. PET is simply part of the ongoing evolution of the keg. With the petainerKeg Linestar we’re now taking that evolution a step further - making it even easier for fillers and brewers to benefit from a lightweight, more flexible packaging system that reduces freight costs - without the need for them to invest in new filling lines or systems.”
