Nokomis Maple Products of Trois-Pistoles, Quebec, Canada, works with more than 100 maple syrup producing families who, generation after generation, carry on a profession that they learned from their ancestors. The Bas-Saint-Laurent these families call home is characterized by a harsh climate and sugar maple forests of remarkable purity, and it’s one of the most northerly places in the world to produce maple syrup. With this quality of raw ingredient, Nokomis says it offers its customers the guarantee of a real product from Quebec.

Offerings span from glass bottles with integral handle between 189 and 250 mL, “solitude bottles” of 250 mL, and larger PP jugs between 500 mL and 1 L. Depending on bottle size and application, PP caps from Berry Cap, Pano Cap, Mold-Rite Plastics are used to close the bottles. But recently, problems arose with the automated application of those caps and closures. Automatic and progressive bottle-reject system for capping of liquid productsAutomatic and progressive bottle-reject system for capping of liquid products
