Kona Brewing Co. brought its rebranded Wailua Ale, formerly known as Wailua Wheat, back to shelves this summer in slimmer, more sustainable packaging.

“The introduction of a robotic palletizer has had a huge impact on our business,” say Product Manager Jason Covington and Business Development Manager Steve Golladay of ITW Warehouse Automation (ITWWA), Arden, N.C.

The focus on our natural resources and how we make the most of them is greater than ever. Water is mankind’s No. 1 resource.

Although the plastic bottle market in the United States serves a number of different industries and manufacturers, the beverage business continues to play a large role.
