SGT invests €3 million in new material central facility

Thanks to an ultra-performing computer system, the installation deployed by MAT Techno-Logic offers precise management of all mixtures associated with each preform injection press. The flexibility of this new technology allows for automatic management of diverse mixtures, ranging from 0 to 100%, thus providing exceptional versatility in production.

"This new installation represents a major modernization of our site, aimed at increasing our productivity, efficiency, and the quality of our preforms. Our priority is to meet the ever-increasing expectations of our customers and fully satisfy them," says François-Xavier Ollier, Production Manager of the SGT Group.

The implementation of this system brings several major benefits:

• Firstly, it significantly improves the efficiency of the production process, resulting in considerable time savings for the company.
• Additionally, the storage capacity of raw materials has been significantly increased with the addition of 280 tons of transition storage.
• Finally, the automation of the installation ensures a secure supply of PET to the presses, reducing risks associated with human errors.

The new material central facility also emphasizes complete traceability of preforms produced at the Reze site. Through advanced tracking systems, the company can guarantee the quality and origin of each product, thus meeting the strictest requirements of its customers.

By committing to this initiative, the SGT Group also demonstrates its adherence to the highest environmental standards. In compliance with the Clean Sweep charter, the new material central facility helps prevent granule loss, thereby reinforcing the company's commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
