Customer Testimonials

The Exordium Team helped us reduce our final blow pressure from 20Bar to 16Bar. This was a major accomplishment from multiple standpoints like energy savings and an efficient and sustainable process. Our blower rejects have been the lowest they have ever been and we have seen improvements on downstream micro jam faults related to the bottle process.

Caleb Robertson l Plant Engineering & Injection Manager l Niagara Bottling

Exordium’s greatest contribution revolved around communication to our technicians on site. Allowing them to learn in the process and be open to the recommended changes these were more easily accepted from Exordiums technicians with the processing and set-up training. Sometimes not accepted so quickly from a technician who has maintained the existing process for an extended period of time. While they were here for the first visit they conveyed information very clearly and were careful not to offend the technician on site. They built on the relationship to gain the trust with clear explanation written and verbally to the group.
Ben Poklembo l Maintenance Manager l Niagara Bottling

Exordium has been a great help on rPET conversion we have had a ton of challenges throughout the years from 25% to 100%. I can’t say enough about their technicians’ knowledge of processing and blow molding in general.
Brenda Allison | CPF-NEHF

Our recent light-weighting project for our organization presented some challenges, as we were one of the first locations to roll out this bottle and had to work with our R&D team around some specifications that needed to be adjusted. We were more successful on our first machine then the second machine. We had to work with Exordium and Krones as a team to understand why we were getting issues with bent necks. We worked through the cooling circuit, timing, mechanical adjustments and Exordium was helpful working with the OEM towards a solution.

Rob Zimmer | Project Engineer | Swire Coca Cola

Their experience is absolutely value added. Salad bottle optimization made a positive impact on our business. Hardest bottle in our portfolio.
Manuel Silveira Director | Maintenance | Generous Brands

Our biggest challenge was a new bottle design and its process. Despite our very old blow mold machine, with Exordium’s expertise we were able to complete the project successfully!!
