Award for Alcan Germany

“Alcan Packaging is very proud to receive this award that recognises our commitment to innovation and investing in the products, processes, and services that meet our customers’ unique needs,” said Wilfried Jud, Managing director, Alcan Packaging Teningen.

The specially developed cup lid is produced with transparent polyethylene terephthalate (PET) composite, which reduces the amount of packaging material used in the production process. The use of varnish and solvents is also reduced by applying the sealants only to the area of the product that is sealed. The lids’ transparency allows for an ideal product presentation.
