Teknik Plastik and Thrace in IML tubs jv
In an unusual cross-cultural cooperation, Turkey´s Teknik Plastik (TR-Istanbul; www.teknikplastik.com) has founded a joint venture with Greek tub manufacturer Thrace Plastics (GR-Xanthi; www.thraceplastics.gr) to produce injection moulded tubs for ice cream, cheese, margarine and chocolate, using the IML (in-mould labelling) technology. This follows a recent PC water bottles joint venture agreement between Thrace and Watertek (www.watertek.com.tr), which belongs to Teknik Plastik and Capsnap Europe (A-4550 Kremsmünster; www.capsnap.at) to produce PC water bottles in Greece.
