Herti is one of the leading manufacturers of aluminum ROPP closures, located in Bulgaria. Founded in 1993 as a start-up company specialized in metal packaging and producing only two kinds of aluminum caps, it is now a public company with five daughter companies in the UK, France, Germany, Romania and Bulgaria. Herti offers different sizes of closures that cover 95% of the aluminum closures available on the market. Over the years the product range has been extended permanently and currently contains more than 40 different types of closures with a diameter from 17mm to 43mm and a height from 12mm to 60mm. The Company produces over one billion caps per year and sells them in 50 countries worldwide on 6 continents.
The modern production facilities and machinery are situated on 8 hectares own land, that provide for the full production circle, meeting all business and ecological requirements.
The management is committed to quality and customer satisfaction. It explores new opportunities and uses latest technologies to be in compliance with the highest quality standards of the market. Herti develops and markets new products every year together with its subsidiary company Tihert JSC, specializing in tool production. In constant aspiration for progressing, Herti develops innovative ideas, corresponding to the company slogan “Your brand tomorrow is our business today”. Herti’s customers are leading world producers of different types of wines and spirits, mineral water, juices, olive oil and pharmaceutical products. The aluminum closures contribute to 75% of the sales, but the company offers also plastic and composite closures – a combination of aluminum and plastic- that increase in popularity especially among spirit producers.
The Company is certified by ISO 9000 since 2000. Since 2010 it is certified by BRC/IOP – The Global Standard for Packaging and Packaging Materials. The regular audits of the production process from key customers and partners are an additional incentive for continuous improvement and perfection.
Last year the company celebrated its 20th anniversary. The year was marked with new projects and investment. Beside for the wine sector Herti worked in other fields. A new varnishing and printing machine was put in action. This is a high-tech production equipment with the possibility to check some key indicators in the production process. The machine will be connected to the new Herti control system and will send data automatically to SAP.
The world trend in wine packaging is the use of aluminum screw caps and the management thinks that they have the greatest potential for future growth. Following the trends Herti has installed a Madag embossing and hot foil printing machine to offer an additional customization and decoration options to the wine industry. “Vinstar ” is the registered trade mark for the wine closures produced by the company. Through continuous efforts and extensive research Herti succeeded to establish a new product. “Vinstar Smart”, launched in February this year, is an aluminum closure with PVC free granulate suitable for still and sparkling wines and is the first of its kind on the market. It is supplied in two dimensions: 30×60 and 28×44 and with flat litho and offset multicolor printing and hot foil printing. With its distinctive characteristics Vinstar Smart expands the benefits which aluminum closures bring to the taste, quality and sustainability of wine:
Excellent air-tightness, significantly better than current Saran-based liners
Smooth and easy opening in spite of the tightness
Keeps internal pressure up to 4 bars – the most suitable liner for a wide range of sparkling wines
Universal closure – suitable for both still and sparkling wines
Perfectly neutral from an organoleptic point of view
Liners suitable for pasteurization also available. The liner is fixed to the aluminium – no risk of distortion after cool down
Compatible with current wine bottles and capping equipment
Another new product in the company’s portfolio is a PVC-free lined 28x15mm ROPP closure, suitable for ozone treated, sensible waters and pasteurization processing.
From the beginning of 2014 Herti started a new project for a composite closure for mineral waters, called “Dorado”. It will be launched on the market in the first half of 2015.
The management of the company has always put efforts into strengthening positions and increasing market share, trying to guarantee an exclusive product quality, understand customers` needs, and providing every client with customized packaging solutions.
