Husky Technologies will present new technologies, solutions and services for beverage packaging at Drinktec 2025 in Munich, Hall C5, Booth 421. The company focuses on enabling circular economy objectives without sacrificing performance, highlighting PET platforms for high-volume preform production, a mono-material closure approach and enterprise-wide monitoring. The developments are positioned to support recyclability, efficiency and consistent quality while accommodating increasing levels of recycled PET in production.
"At Husky, we believe sustainability should never mean compromise," said Bradley Selleck, Husky’s CEO. "The industry has moved beyond the old trade-offs between recyclability, performance, quality, or speed. PET is uniquely positioned as the most circular packaging material and at Drinktec 2025, we're proud to showcase how Husky is enabling beverage packaging producers to build a truly circular future while continuing to grow their businesses."
Key introductions include the world premiere of the HyPET 6e platform in a 200-cavity configuration, the mid-volume HyPET NX6 system, the HyCAP SecuRE+ closure forming technology for fully PET packages, and the Advantage+Enterprise monitoring solution that extends plant and fleet visibility beyond single-system analytics.
Next-generation HyPET 6e and mid-volume HyPET NX6
Husky will debut the HyPET 6e platform with a 200-cavity system engineered for high productivity. The platform introduces advanced vacuum drying technology intended to elevate rPET processing through improved energy efficiency, precise control, enhanced material protection and higher uptime. According to the company, HyPET 6e enables processing of higher rPET content with consistent part quality and lower overall part cost, combining throughput with sustainability to meet demand for circular, high-performance packaging.
Also launching is HyPET NX6, a next-generation mid-volume PET system designed to deliver production efficiency and preform quality at a more accessible entry point. HyPET NX6 complements the HyPET 6e platform to provide a scalable molding solution across applications and volumes.
HyCAP SecuRE+: mono-material PET bottle and closure
Husky is introducing HyCAP SecuRE+, a closure forming technology that allows both bottles and closures to be produced entirely in PET, creating a fully circular mono-material package. The approach targets recyclability and line performance while supporting evolving closure geometries and standards.
- Enhanced consumer security through a novel tamper-evident design
- Improved capping performance for greater line efficiency
- Compatibility with complex and tethered closure geometries
- Compatibility with industry standard CETIE neck finishes
- Lightweighting opportunities at the dispensing system level for cost and sustainability gains
When paired with Husky’s closure development expertise, HyCAP SecuRE+ is intended to help producers align with circular economy goals while maintaining package performance.
"The combination of our next-generation HyPET 6e 200-cavity system and new HyCAP SecuRE+ closure technology represent game-changing advances for the beverage industry," said Robert Domodossola, Husky’s President of Systems and Tooling. "With HyPET 6e, producers can achieve unparalleled scale and efficiency while processing higher levels of rPET with confidence and consistency. SecuRE+ complements this by enabling a true complete mono-material PET package, bottle and closure together, delivering new levels of consumer security and recyclability. These innovations redefine what’s possible, proving that sustainability and performance can advance hand in hand."
Advantage+Enterprise: factory and enterprise visibility
Drinktec 2025 marks the official launch of Advantage+Enterprise, a global monitoring solution that extends the company’s Advantage+Elite platform from single-system predictive monitoring to enterprise-level visibility. Since its introduction in 2021, Advantage+Elite has been deployed in more than 1,500 customer contracts worldwide, with data indicating that connecting entire factories drives additional gains in effectiveness, performance and part quality. These insights informed the development of Advantage+Enterprise.
- Enterprise-wide operational visibility across single factories or multi-factory networks
- Decision support for labor allocation, rPET integration and predictive maintenance
- Improved resilience and efficiency to manage variability and reduce waste
"Our customers have told us they need more than single system-level predictive monitoring and proactive alerts, they need visibility across entire plants and even multi-factory, multi-country networks," said Tony Black, Husky’s President of Service. "Advantage+Enterprise delivers exactly that, providing manufacturers with enterprise-wide insights through targeted dashboards designed for operations, maintenance and executive teams. By driving efficiency, quality, performance and resilience, whether it is bridging labor gaps, integrating recycled PET or improving overall equipment effectiveness, this solution empowers producers to make faster, smarter decisions that protect both their bottom line and the planet."
