Centre for Packaging Technology
The Centre for Packaging Technology provides the technical knowledge and skills that helps Corus Packaging Plus keep our products at the forefront of our market.
We have access to the global expertise of the Corus Group Research, Development & Technology department and since 2007 we have been part of the dynamic Tata Steel Group. Based in IJmuiden, the Netherlands, the Centre for Packaging Technology (CPT) has available to it some of the best research, development and technical resources in the steelmaking and tinplate world.
Our investigations include studies of corrosion and mechanical performance during handling, processing and storing. We use computer modelling to predict performance before the actual component is produced, speeding up development time and reducing trial and error.
Dealing with all aspects of the packaging supply chain, from welding, forming and coating to filling, seaming, sterilizing and recycling, it provides the technological knowledge and skills that help Corus Packaging Plus to maintain our leading position in the packaging market. Our laboratory testing capabilities cover:
- Forming and joining
- Electroplating
- Food processing
- Corrosion testing and measurements
- Coating applications
- Packaging design
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
