Walker, “Our previous supplier didn’t want to get involved in making a small PET bottle for us because of our low-volume request.”

Walker hit upon local company Meredith-Springfield Associates, which was willing to research the feasibility of the project. Being a smaller manufacturer, Meredith-Springfield was ultimately better able to accommodate the 100-mL project.
