YG Machinery supplied a bottle blow molding machine to a beverage manufacturer in Mexico. The company produced 500ml PET juice and flavored water bottles. They had been outsourcing bottle production to a third-party supplier. Lead times were long. Production costs were high. They had no control over bottle quality or design flexibility.
The customer purchased a YG-2L-4 fully automatic PET bottle blow molding machine with 4 cavities. The machine was installed at their production facility. YG provided installation guidance, operator training, and mold design support.
The machine now produces 14,000 bottles per day. One operator runs it. Bottle cost per unit dropped by 45%. Design changes take 48 hours instead of 7-10 days. The machine paid for itself in 9 months. The customer now supplies bottles to three other local beverage brands.
The plant manager said the YG bottle blowing machine gave them control over their own supply chain. They produce better bottles for less money. No more waiting for suppliers. They are now the supplier.
From Outsourcing to In-House Bottle Production
A small beverage manufacturer in Mexico was growing. Their product line included 500ml PET juice and flavored water bottles. Demand was increasing. But their bottle supply was a problem.
They had been buying bottles from a third-party supplier. Lead times were 7-10 days. The supplier set the price. The customer could not control bottle quality or make quick design changes.
The plant manager knew something had to change. Outsourcing was limiting their growth. They needed a bottle blow molding machine that would let them produce bottles in-house.
The Challenge: Outsourcing Bottles Was Costly and Slow
The customer had several problems with outsourcing bottle production.
Lead times were long. Order fulfillment took 7-10 days. The customer had to plan ahead. Changes or delays from the supplier caused production problems.
Costs were high. Supplier markup and transportation fees added to the bottle cost. The customer had no way to reduce costs.
Quality was inconsistent. The customer could not control bottle quality. Defects happened. Bad bottles were accepted or returned. Both options cost money.
Design changes were slow. Changing bottle design took weeks. The supplier had to make new molds. The customer could not respond to market changes quickly.
The customer needed a PET bottle making machine that would solve all these problems. They started looking for a PET bottle blow molding machine that fit their production volume.
