PETplanet Insider
Magazine for Bottlers and Bottle-Makers in the
Americas, Asia, Europe and all around the Planet
PET planet
Publisher GmbH
Heidelberg / Germany
Launched in 1999 as the first of its kind, PETplanet
Insider’s name proved to be the message: a specialised magazine focussing on
PET (Polyethylenterephthalat) from the pellet to the
closed bottle including the many different applications possible. As the market
is spread out over the globe, the name „planet“ was justly chosen, particularly
as the German-based publication appears in English for world-wide
understanding. And the insiders are partly the steadily growing number of
readers who appreciate a head start by PETplanet
Insider’s quick and reliable information, as well as the companies advertising
where just the right group of customers can be reached. But PETplanet
Insider’s does not stop to relish in its own achievements at this point but has
declared its goal to be the support of PET in every way possible. This includes
covering of all major events and exhibitions, and various other ideas centred
on PET.
