Keeping testers running at peak performance levels can makers need in today’s rigid packaging markets.
OUR STORY
The CTS knowledge base for these air and light testers spans over the last 45 years, primarily from experience in the engineering and manufacturing side of the production of the machinery. CTS is located in Jamestown, New York, just fifteen miles from the original Borden/Alcoa can tester machinery facility in Randolph, New York. The first Borden three piece can testers were built in the early 1960’s, and by the end of 1999, over 1700 can testers for ends, cans, and plastic bottles had been produced at the Randolph, NY facility. Most of these testers and many related three piece can manufacturing machines are still running today in locations all over the world.
