PTi expands in Asia

S-based sheet extrusion machinery maker Processing Technologies International (PTi) has appointed JK Innotion as its representative in South Korea. JK Innotion will serve as a sales agent for PTi's broad range of monolayer and co-extrusion barrier sheet line systems for the packaging industry.

With PTi machinery in 24 countries, the appointment is a key part of the company's aggressive global growth strategy and expands its presence in the Asian market.

JK Innotion, led by owner and founder KC Kim, represents US and European manufacturers and sells machinery and support equipment to Korean packaging companies. The company will sell PTi's full complement of sheet extrusion machinery and provide a full range of support including technical service.

As part of its growth strategy, PTi is also exploring other partnerships in the Far East. By early spring, the company expects to finalise other agreements, which will give PTi representation in other key Asian regions.
