Drive technology for customised finish under servo control

Drive technology from Beckhoff plays an important role at the traditional Austrian company.

The customisation options offered by the Styrian manufacturer for wine, sparkling wine, spirits, and fruit juice bottles, range from “simple” top and side printing through to sophisticated foil embossing and other typical design features for caps such as breathing or cork ventilation holes, spherical or grid graining, tear-off perforations, or tear-off strips. “Many customers come to us with a template and ask whether we can reproduce the particular design. The fact that we have our own engineering department is tremendously beneficial, since it allows us to cater to individual customer requirements in terms of shape, colour, logo, font, etc. If we do not have the right tools for a pending order, we carry out a feasibility check and, if necessary, upgrade or convert the existing equipment accordingly,” says Christian Stanzel, highlighting the company’s comprehensive manufacturing expertise.

Originally founded in 1892 as a forge, the traditional company based in Pinggau has developed into a premium supplier of bottle caps and twist caps.
