Kortec Corporation

Kortec is the world’s largest supplier of turnkey co-injection systems to the plastics and packaging industries. The company’s systems are used throughout the world to produce high-barrier multi-layer containers featuring three-layer construction that optimizes clarity and strength while maximizing the shelf life of the end-use products. Kortec’s three-layer preform technology combines PET or OPP with the latest barrier and oxygen scavenging resins. The finished multilayer container can offer far superior gas barrier performance over a monolayer container, thus providing superior shelf life of the product. Typical applications for blow molded barrier containers are natural fruit juices and tea, tomato-based sauces, small carbonated soft drinks, and beer. Recent developments at Kortec include new applications of its multi-layer technology to produce injection molded thin-wall containers for food applications, and caps and closures for food and beverage containers.
