Pöppelmann KAPSTO - responsible for protective elements within the plastics specialist Pöppelmann Group - is showcasing three main highlights at HANNOVER MESSE 2018. Besides PÖPPELMANN blue, a Group-wide initiative to boost sustainability in the plastics sector, the company is celebrating the trade fair premiere of its GPN 608 conical closing - a quickly removable conical closing with practical grip tab. The third headliner is a whole package of measures to effectively help customers optimize their time to market.

The broad-based PÖPPELMANN blue initiative, incorporating numerous projects aimed at closing the raw material cycle throughout the Group, is at the forefront of the Pöppelmann KAPSTO showcase. This underlines the importance of recycling materials within the Group's sustainability strategy. The outstanding feature of the new universal GPN 608 conical plug or cap is its ease of use. The registered design of its innovative grip tab makes this protective component, which is used to seal holes and interior threads or for covering bolts and exterior threads, very easy to grip and remove, thus speeding up disassembly processes.

The package of measures developed by Pöppelmann KAPSTO is also aimed at accelerating processes and offering customers swift response times. New products and tools are now being developed with an eye to further boosting availability and time-saving applications. The action plan also seeks to optimize service by introducing the taglines "next day delivery", "fast lane" and "priority production". The whole drive is rounded off with a focus on further optimizing the internal process chains at Pöppelmann KAPSTO itself by "accelerating things at all levels".
