Why Australia needs custom preforms
Australia is a major mining and agricultural exporter, with iron ore, coal, gold and LNG operations in Western Australia and Queensland and a large construction and retail market in the eastern cities.
Water, soft-drink, juice and edible-oil bottlers blow preforms into bottles on site, which saves most of the freight cost of shipping empty bottles.
