Rexam to reach billionth foamer
Rexam, developer of the world’s widest and most innovative range of instant-foam dispensers, will reach the 1,000,000,000 foamer mark later in 2007.To mark the occasion, the company plans a special award for the purchaser of the one-billionth pump at Alkmaar (Holland),the birthplace of foam pumps, according to Robert Brands, Managing Director, Rexam Dispensing Systems.
To provide perspective on this sales accomplishment, the company estimates that, if laid end-to-end, one billion of the popular F2 pumps developed by Rexam Airspray – given an 8.0-inch length from top of the pump to the end of the diptube – would stretch 126,263 miles, more than half-way to the Moon, and more than five times around the Earth’s 24,900-mile circumference.
“Reaching this milestone demonstrates the tremendous acceleration in global demand for our mechanical, instant-foam dispensing technology,” Brands said. “Our commitment to innovation, performance and customer service has won over the most demanding product manufacturers, retailers and consumers, in an ever-broadening range of personal care and household sub-markets, from hand soaps to pet products.”
Rexam Airspray’s patent protected foamers all work without gas propellants to transform liquid into creamy, rich foam with a single actuation. The company was first in the industry to offer an unconditional quality assurance plan – which promises perfect operation of every product shipped. Rexam Airspray incorporates fully-automated production to create its pumps and utilizes 100 percent in-line quality control techniques. Ten percent of Rexam Airspray’s worldwide workforce is dedicated to research and development.
“Our customers appreciate our ability to deliver the widest, deepest and finest quality range of foamers,” Brands said. “And, today, this dispensing technology is preferred by consumers, which makes it extremely popular with retailers as well.”
According to Brands, the Rexam customer that orders the 1,000,000.000th pump will receive a 10 percent order discount (up to €2,500) and a specially created award.
