The Lindal Group, a global developer and manufacturer of valves, actuators and spray caps for aerosol products used in pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food applications, recently launched a new twist-lock, overcap-free actuator that it claims to represent an appealing new alternative for makers of deodorants and antiperspirants, sun protection and self-tanning products and more.

The Sunny actuator’s attractive, ergonomic design was developed for easy actuation and high top-load resistance, for use in a wide range of personal care product applications. The actuator is already winning the attention of savvy brand owners, and a major retail launch is imminent,” the company says.

Made in Brazil

The actuator is produced at the new Itupeva facility in Sao Paulo, Brazil, that Lindal inaugurated at the beginning of the year.

"Here is the first example of how our custom-built, expandable new facility can benefit customers throughout the hemisphere and around the globe. And in emerging markets, where rising local market consumer spending power will boost demand for personal care products and innovative aerosol packaging solutions, our offerings will have particular appeal," said Moacir Camargo, Lindal Brazil’s Managing Director.
