RESILUX is a family company by origin that was founded in June 1994, and since 1997 it has been listed on the Brussels Stock Exchange (Euronext). The company has an extensive network of sales and service offices in various countries. Alongside the main unit in Belgium, RESILUX has also created production units in other countries in just a few years, i.e. Spain (1997), Russia (1998), Greece (2000), Switzerland (2000/2001), Hungary (2002) and a joint venture in the United States of America (2001). RESILUX has sales offices in the above countries, as well as in many other countries on different continents. All these countries have their own specific characteristics that influence the growth dynamics. RESILUX produces preforms for many applications and in various weights, colours and forms. Preforms and bottles are produced for both single use and multiple use. For barrier-sensitive products, it is also possible to use multilayer preforms or bottles. Moreover, the RESILUX R&D centres are continually researching ways to further improve quality, increase the barriers of PET, and optimise the preform and bottle designs. RESILUX also does bottle-blowing projects for many customers. RESILUX provides the necessary know-how and if required the infrastructure and manpower for the filling companies. They can be done on the customer's premises (in-house), right next to the customer (wall-to-wall), or near to the customer (satellite). RESILUX is one of the most outstanding companies in the PET packaging market. This is mainly due to the strategic focus of the company, in which the global spread of risk and maximum market flexibility are central. In the second place, the strong position of RESILUX is due to a very high level of productivity, and its technological leadership, where the quality aspect comes first. Production is highly automated and production technology has to a large extent been optimised in house. Part of RESILUX's know-how is protected by patents and registered designs.
