Impress stacks up another honour

PowerClick® is named Sélection Innovation ADICT 2009 by SIAL

Impress’ stackable PowerClick® innovation has been named by an independent jury of experts Sélection Innovation ADICT 2009 by SIAL. ADICT stands for : Alimentation, Design, Innovation, Creation, Tendances. The recognition is further praise for Impress as an innovative contender in food packaging prototypes, after receiving the same accolade for microwaveable metal trays in 2007.

‘Just click it!’
PowerClick® is a design feature for aluminium and steel cans that enables them to be clicked on top of each other. It can be produced for a range diameters and heights. PowerClick® was selected together with 46 finished products - including cooking juices in glass bottles and liquid-filled pearls - thanks to its “ease of use, its functionality for brand owners, distributors and end-consumers alike as well as for its possible re-usability,” according to the ADICT jury.

Already awarded Gold in the 2009 ‘Cans of the Year’ prototype category by The Canmaker Magazine, PowerClick® focuses on ambient market segments such as ready meals, fruits and vegetables, seafood, desserts, and pet food.

“We are very proud to receive this recognition from ADICT,” said Gordon Shade, VP of Corporate and Industry Affairs, Impress. “This increases awareness of our innovation capability and our ability to find practical solutions to meet our customer needs.”

Impress received the commendation in November at an event hosted by SIAL in Paris, which involved industry contacts in a networking event of roundtable discussions, presentations and work-shops.
