From soft drinks bottles to fashion, trigger sprays to cosmetic and pharmaceutical packaging, our PET resin is used in wide range of polyester products throughout Europe and beyond.

Based at our 64-acre manufacturing facility at Wilton in Teesside, some 350km from London, we produce in excess of 350,000 tonnes of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) resin chips every year. Capacity we’re able to meet thanks to the dedication of our strong workforce of skilled engineers, scientists, technicians and support staff.

Our collective aim? To seek new ways to meet customers’ ever-evolving demands for PET– be that crystal clear transparency for optimum product visibility, modular mould capabilities to enable brand differentiation at low cost, or lightweight and low material usage for a reduced carbon footprint.

It’s why we’re regularly enhancing our products. It’s why we’re continually investing in our people and our processes. But most tellingly of all, it’s why we remain one of the preferred partners for converters and brand owners throughout Europe.

The journey is now an expedition to lead innovation and execute technical solutions that meet the evolving needs for increased sustainability and reduced environmental impact. Novel solutions continue to make PET the packaging material of choice and come from Alpek Polyester’s innovative approach to recycling and incorporating integrated recycle content into its Laser+® PET product offerings.

Our new site in Wilton, UK, is the only manufacturer of virgin PET resin in the UK. All PET Resins produced at the Wilton Site are 100% recyclable and have long been at the forefront of sustainability improvements for PET products and their consumer end uses. With its premium fast reheat resin formulation, Laser+ ® enables reduced power consumption in customer moulding processes, resulting in energy savings and subsequent reduced environmental impact. Continued research, development and reformulation over the years have further improved colour, clarity and overall performance of its PET offerings and have helped establish strong links with customers and brand owners.
