Previously, when switched from glass to PET, its larger bottles had seen increased sales, but changing over the 100-mL size at first proved a challenge. Says John Avigian, Plant Manager of M.S. Walker, “Our previous supplier didn’t want to get involved in making a small PET bottle for us because of our low-volume request.”

After soliciting other plastics manufacturing companies without success, M.S. 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.
