Captive-Mo.lder Gives New Blenders A 'Whirl'

摘要

A recent investment by captive molder Whirley Drinkworks on a new feeding and blending system paid for itself in less than a year by allowing the processor to make much more judicious use of color. Whirley (whirleydrinkworks.com) is a family-owned molding business that was started in 1960. Today, it operates out of a 67,000 ft2 plant in Warren, Pa., making a wide range of drinking cups and other types of food packaging for convenience stores, amusement/theme parks, zoos, and restaurants all over the world. Some of its products come in familiar shapes, like insulated travel mugs or bottles. Others look like dinosaurs or exotic animals. So far this year, business is up 5% vs. 2014.
