New Katan-Ex SL with slippery outside layer

Trioworld has added a new high-performance cast stretch film to its Katan-Ex range: Katan-Ex SL.

Katan-Ex SL is fitted with a super slippery outside layer with non-cling properties and with all the benefits of cast film. This makes Katan-Ex SL a unique product.

Overhanging or protruding loads
Pallets clinging together because of overhanging or protruding loads can cause film to tear due to pallets touching each other, with damage as a result. Katan-Ex SL’s super slippery layer prevents this: the loading and unloading of wrapped pallets runs smoothly, without damage and potential rework.

Katan-Ex SL has been developed by Trioworld’s Research & Development department in Apeldoorn. “For years I’ve heard people saying it can’t be done”, says business development manager Paul Kommerkamp. “But now we’ve shown it can be. It’s the most slippery cast film out there.”

Drinks and bagged goods
All companies transporting pallets that come into contact with each other, film on film, will benefit from the use of Katan-Ex SL. In particular the dairy and beverage industry, dealing with container transport, whether cooled or not.

Companies transporting bagged goods such as animal feed, milk powder, or raw materials for bakeries also will have good results. Pallets with overhanging or protruding loads remain just as stable, but with the added advantage of remaining intact.

Customer testing
After successful customer testing at a large dairy company, Katan-Ex SL has demonstrated:
*Pallets no longer clinging together
*Less film usage, because of Katan-Ex SL’s high stretchability
*A reduction in cost per wrapped pallet.

Trioworld’s full-service solution
Trioworld helps their customers achieve optimal pallet stability, using a minimal amount of film. Trioworld’s sales engineers not only have in-depth knowledge about film, but also about the machines and the settings required. This is their full-service solution, ensuring the perfect combination for avoiding damage during transport.

Commerce Department Finds Imports of Paper Shopping Bags Unfairly Traded

The Coalition for Fair Trade in Shopping Bags (the "Coalition") applauds the final determinations announced today by the United States Department of Commerce ("Commerce") that imports of paper shopping bags into the United States from Cambodia, China, Colombia, India, Malaysia, Portugal, Taiwan, and Vietnam are being sold at less than fair value (commonly termed "dumping") and that imports from China and India also are being subsidized. This follows an affirmative final finding of dumping announced in March with respect to imports of paper shopping bags from Turkey. Commerce's investigations concerning these nine countries cover paper shopping bags with handles of any type, whether printed or unprinted. In its final determinations, Commerce concluded that imports of paper shopping bags from each of the nine countries are being unfairly traded. In particular, Commerce found combined dumping margins and subsidy rates of up to 308.13 percent. This means that U.S. importers of paper shopping bags from these countries will have to pay cash deposits to U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("Customs") based on the value of their future imports.

Silgan Announces Second Quarter Earnings; Confirms Full Year Estimate

Net sales for the second quarter of 2017 were $1,021.8 million, an increase of $147.2 million, or 16.8 percent, as compared to $874.6 million in 2016. This increase was the result of the acquisition of Dispensing Systems in April 2017 and higher net sales across all of the businesses. Income from operations for the second quarter of 2017 was $75.2 million, an increase of $7.5 million, or 11.1 percent, as compared to $67.7 million for the second quarter of 2016, while operating margin decreased to 7.4 percent from 7.7 percent for the same periods. The increase in income from operations was the result of the net benefit from the acquisition of Dispensing Systems and higher income from operations in each of the businesses. The decrease in operating margin was due primarily to the negative impact from the purchase accounting write-up of inventory of Dispensing Systems and acquisition related costs in the quarter. Rationalization charges were $3.0 million and $5.0 million in the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Click Read More below for additional details.
