In 2014,
it was spun off from Closure Systems International (CSI),
and currently produces over three billion aluminum
closures annually in 28 and 30 millimeter diameters
suitable for any type of still, carbonated or alcoholic
beverage packaged in glass, PET or aluminum bottles.
Maintaining a seal for carbonated water with high
internal pressure can be difficult and closurelogic caps
compression molded with GLS TPE liners are known to
have excellent pressure retention.

Novoloid fibers are composed of 76% carbon,
18% oxygen, & 6% hydrogen.
Novoloid can also be used a precursor to
carbon fiber.
