Global Closure Systems (GCS) has developed a bespoke closure solution to help the world’s largest food company Nestlé’ Coffee-mate® 2GO™ satisfy the lifestyle expectations of “on-the-go” coffee drinkers in North America.
Launched in late 2014, Nestlé’s new Coffee-mate® 2GO™ creamer dispenser incorporates a silicone valve sub-assembly designed and manufactured by Zeller Plastik, GCS’s production plant in Libertyville, Illinois.
Coffee-mate® 2GO™, the innovative and breakthrough product for the Coffee-mate® brand and the creamer category, is a conveniently-sized, 90ml portable creamer that doesn’t require refrigeration, allowing consumers to transform their ordinary cup of coffee anywhere and at any time.
“The silicone valve has been specifically designed to perfectly match the product formulation,” said Peter Goshorn, Sales & Marketing Director, GCS Americas.
The closure’s red glossy finish offers stand-out, on-shelf appeal, while the need for tamper evidence is provided by a full body sleeve.
Nestlé, which introduced Coffee-mate® in 1961 as the first “non-dairy creamer” on the market, said GCS has met all the technical requirements and specifications of its beloved brand.
“Zeller Plastik’s collaboration on the cap development and execution for Coffee-mate® 2GO™ helped us develop the perfect solution for the loyal Coffee-mate consumer who needs a portable creamer”, said Cyrille Durand, Group Manager, Technical Packaging, Nestlé USA.
“The market for enjoying coffee outside of the home continues to grow and developing Coffee-mate® in a practical, ready-to-go offering meets the lifestyle of today’s consumer”.
