Rigid plastics specialist Logoplaste has invested in a new cooling system for its Gloucestershire facility that serves GlaxoSmithKline's largest soft drinks plant.
The facility is a 'hole-in-the-wall' operation of bottles for Lucozade and Ribena and Logoplaste tasked IsoCool with designing a chilled and cooling water system for injection- and blow-moulding equipment.
