Kortec, Inc., based in the United States, is a machinery manufacturer and the world's largest supplier of turnkey co-injection systems for the plastics and packaging industries. Its systems produce high-barrier multilayer containers with a three-layer construction that enhances clarity and strength while extending the shelf life of packaged products. The technology serves applications in shelf-stable foods, carbonated beverages, and oxygen-sensitive beverages. A key feature is the three-layer preform approach that combines PET or OPP with barrier and oxygen-scavenging resins to deliver superior gas barrier performance compared with monolayer designs, enabling longer product shelf life. Commercial systems began operating in Europe and the United States around 2010, and Kortec targets markets including pet foods, fruits, coffee, baby foods, vegetables, and fish.
