Cms becomes Brett Martin’s newest Approved Partner

Brett Martin is pleased to announce that Italian thermoforming equipment manufacturer, Cms – a unique supplier of best-in-class machines for plastics processing – has been announced as the latest company to acquire Approved Partner status. Cms has been awarded this accolade following the successful testing of Brett Martin’s Marpet-g FS (PETg) material on its Eidos vacuum forming machine.

Cms is the first Approved Partner who manufactures thermoforming equipment. Brett Martin’s 5mm Marpet-g FS plastic sheet – which does not need to be pre-dried before thermoforming unlike other plastics – was tested on Cms’s Eidos 1512, using a vacuum forming machine with halogen heaters and an aluminium mould. This sheet is ideal for various POS and 3D displays, as well as signage and industrial applications.

Daniel Long, area sales manager, Cms UK says, “Our recent experience forming Brett Martin’s PETg material on our Eidos vacuum forming machine within the Cms Technology Centre was a great success. The high quality of the material, combined with the Cms Eidos, produced vacuum formed parts of excellent quality. The PETg material reacted well with our latest technology, granting high productivity.”

Brett Martin’s Approved Partner Programme sees the Northern Ireland based plastics manufacturer work closely with a number of renowned printing, cutting and now thermoforming machine manufacturers to test and showcase the capabilities of its semi-finished product portfolio.

Simona Firth, semi-finished product manager at Brett Martin says, “We’re delighted to see our Marpet-g FS plastic sheet perform so well on Cms’s equipment. Our Approved Partner Programme is crucial to our product development. It validates our products’ quality and ensures their reliability and versatility for printers. Companies such as Cms allow us to understand how our products are performing and make sure they are compatible with the latest processing technologies to ensure suitability for a wide range of applications.”

Packaging South Asia — resilient, growing and impactful — daily, monthly — always responsive

The multi-channel B2B in print and digital 17-year-old platform matches the industry’s growth trajectory. The Indian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Middle East packaging industries are looking beyond the resilience of the past three years. They are resuming capacity expansion and diversification, with high technology and automation in new plants and projects.

As we present our 2024 publishing plan, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2024 will exceed 6%. The packaging industry growth will match the GDP growth in volume terms and surpass it by at least 3% in terms of nominal growth allowing for price inflation in energy, raw materials, consumables, and capital equipment.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 45% over the past four years. With orders in place, we expect another 20% capacity addition in 2024 and 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels are grown similarly. As the consumption story returns over the next six months, we expect demand to return and exceed the growth trajectory of previous years. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – and as shown by our analytics, our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

For responsible and sustainable packaging, with its attendant regulations and compliances, there is significant headroom to grow in India and the region. Our coverage includes the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and to waste collection, sorting, and recycling.

We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers. This is a large and complex canvas – the only thing that can work is your agile thinking and innovation together with our continuous learning and persistence.

The coming year looks to be an up year in this region, and this is the right time to plan your participation and marketing communication – in our rich and highly targeted business platform with human resources on the ground. Share your thoughts and plans and to inspire and mobilize our editorial and advertising teams!
