The PRP Company based in Oyonnax, France, specialized in the production of plastic containers for the beauty industry, is about to invest more than two million euros in the complete reorganization of its production process. A reorganization that involves, among other changes, the systematic automation of moulding machines and finishing units. More than 3,000 sqm of buildings were built from the ground up within weeks, bringing the total plant area to 12,000 sqm.
"And there is more coming, explains Gérard Goujon, owner and CEO, we have also decided to invest in one of our specialities, finally relatively unknown, which is to produce airless containers with a built-in pouch." A speciality, which nonetheless dates back to 1995. A time when this technology was still in its infancy. "We can say we were forerunners in this area," emphasises Gérard Goujon. "And these years of accumulated experience are paying off today." Many projects are underway with some top cosmetic brands.
To note the upcoming release of a standard range of airless containers with a pouch with sizes ranging from 15 ml to 100 ml.
Injection, blow moulding, injection-blow moulding
PRP is probably historically one of the oldest French family-owned companies specialized in the manufacture of plastic containers.
It currently has seven injection moulding machines, fifteen extrusion blow moulding machines, sixteen injection blow moulding machinery, and its famous workshop specialized in the manufacture of pouches for airless concepts among others, which is home to four machines... Not to mention the workshop dedicated to finishing with eight automatic machines (screen printing, hot stamping) and a "liquid" metallization machine.
