Meech Reports Export-Led Growth

He adds that despite difficult trading conditions in the U.S. and several eurozone countries, the outlook for 2011-12 is good, thanks in part to new products such as IonRinse, an ionizing air rinsing system for the beverage industry (pre-forms and blown PET bottles). Says Chris Francis: “Ionized air rinsing technology is increasingly replacing traditional water-based rinsing systems. IonRinse is not only extremely compact and provides exceptional cleaning functionality, it’s a genuinely sustainable solution, as there are no costs for water, compressed air, chemicals or effluent and no need to handle water or chemical residues. The market’s initial response to the product has been very positive, and we expect it to contribute positively to our sales in the coming year.”
