If return customers are happy customers, then Kolob Water Co. and Homcare de Mexico are happy customers. Both firms are sending people to Pack Expo Las Vegas in October largely because they found Pack Expo Las Vegas 2001 such a good place to buy equipment. Running October 13-15 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Pack Expo Las Vegas is sponsored and produced by the Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute.

James Colyer, general manager of Homcare de Mexico in Guadalupe, Mexico, says that the last time he visited Pack Expo Las Vegas, it led to the purchase of two new induction-sealing systems that have virtually eliminated the possibility of leakage during distribution and protect effectively against product tampering.

Founded in 1969, Homcare de Mexico is the sole producer and marketer of Swipe cleaning products throughout Mexico and Central America. Homcare de Mexico packages the product in high-density polyethylene bottles.

During distribution throughout Mexico and Central America, the bottles are exposed to diverse terrain, ranging from sea-level altitudes to mountainous regions located 10ꯠ’ above sea level. These variations cause pressure changes that affect the amount of air present in the headspace of each cleanser bottle, which can ultimately cause leaks.

Colyer headed to Pack Expo Las Vegas in 2001 to find a packaging solution that would allow delivery of the high-quality cleaning products in top condition. “The show is well-organized, and I was able to investigate an impressive range of systems all under one roof,” says Colyer.

After researching a number of different options, Homcare de Mexico purchased a Super Seal™ induction cap sealing system as well as a hand-operated Compak™ Junior model, both from Enercon Industries.
