Non-refillable and aluminium closures manufacturer Guala Closures Group has inaugurated its fifth research center in Luxembourg.
Based in Foetz’s Technoport, GCL Technologies aims at the selection, development, assessment, of the most innovative technologies with goal to make them available within the Guala Closures Group factories; GCL technologies is also open to the cooperation with those industrial players that share similar technological needs/goals.
The guests who attended the opening have been accompanied on a journey into the latest generation technologies which are applied to the production of closures and much more, such as:
NFC is a promising anti-counterfeiting technology that brings good opportunities regarding the brand-consumer communication and the logistic tracking of the product. Guala Closures’ NFC closures are the “first in the world” which have a fully integrated tamper loop.
Electro magnetic aluminum forming for the spirit closures market, in order to produce a new generation of anti counterfeiting plastic closures finished by a highly aesthetic aluminum layer, formed in extremely freely designed shapes.
