In-house plants

We set up next to our clients in order to save resources and drastically reduce the carbon footprint

Transporting part of our production process to the client's facilities implies savings of up to 90% in transport and packaging.

This is a very interesting figure for any business. And an enormous advantage for the planet.

Improving competitiveness while helping the planet

Our packaging is produced in two phases: an initial injection or extrusion phase that creates preforms and a second phase consisting of a blowing process that gives the packaging its final appearance.  

When we work with PET, we transfer the second part of the manufacturing, the blowing process, to our client’s plant, next to their packaging line. If the material is PE or PP, we transport the entire process.

A winning proposal
We stop driving trucks full of nothing,
making logistics easier, saving space in warehouses and reducing our carbon footprint
We eliminate a high quantity of packaging,
implying significant savings of material resources and facilitating waste management for clients
We reduce production costs,
because we create very significant savings: up to 90% less on transport and packaging!
we eliminate finished product stock,
reducing storage space and facilitating internal logistics for our clients
We always offer packaging
just in time because we adapt the packaging production pace to the needs of the packaging plant
We drastically reduce the carbon footprint of the packaging

How does an in-house plant work?

1
We plan
Our client sends us their packaging schedule.
2
We manufacture the preforms
At the main Caiba plants, we prepare the preforms that are used to manufacture the packaging

The preforms are a much more compact intermediate product than the final packaging.
3
We send the preforms
We send the preforms to the in-house plant, located next to the client's packaging line.

This saves heavily on costs and resources.
*In the case of polyethylene packaging, we send raw materials to the client’s facility.
4
We finalise the packaging
At the in-house plants, we finalise production of the packaging, putting the preforms through the blowing phase so as to give the packaging its final shape.

In some cases, we undertake the entire process (preform and blowing) such as manufacturing containers in integrated machinery.
5
Product packaging
The packaging moves to the filling line at the pace anticipated by the client.
6
Final distribution
Output of the packaged product to the points of sale.

Transport preforms or transport packaging?

A considerable difference

1 truck can transport over 460,000 preforms 

To transport the same amount of finished packaging, we would need 8 trucks

12 in-house plants... and growing

We are working to continue to expand this model because it contributes the most towards reducing the carbon footprint of any product

General Director of CAIBA

One single in-house plant means that in one year, 15 tonnes of CO2 have not been released into the atmosphere
