With Industry 4.0 driving technological innovation and automation, plastic bottle manufacturers are keeping pace by releasing energy-efficient, reliable and flexible blow-molding machines that not only can produce high-quality, lightweight bottles but also keep total cost of ownership (TCO) low.

Equipment suppliers note that market drivers for PET bottle manufacturing lines are focused on reducing TCO, overall plant footprint and resources. Personalization of products and eCommerce also are impacting plastic bottle manufacturing.
