Herti

For more than three decades, Herti has been developing and manufacturing high-quality closures for the beverage and food industries. Established in 1993, the company has grown from a small producer of aluminium closures into an international group supplying customers across more than 60 countries.

Today, Herti manufactures around two billion closures annually and offers a broad portfolio of aluminium, plastic and composite solutions. Through its subsidiaries in Romania, the UK, France, Germany, the US and, since 2026, Chile, the company combines European manufacturing expertise with an increasingly strong presence in key international markets.

Herti’s philosophy is reflected in its long-standing slogan: “Your brand tomorrow is our business today.” The company works closely with customers to develop packaging solutions that combine functionality, product protection, distinctive design and reliable supply.

A comprehensive range of closure solutions for the packaging industry

Herti manufactures closures for a wide variety of applications, including wine, spirits, mineral water and soft drinks, olive oil and food products.

Its aluminium portfolio includes closures in a wide range of diameters and heights, allowing solutions to be adapted to different bottle formats and market requirements.

A broad choice of colours, lacquers and decoration technologies allows closures to become an integral part of a brand’s identity. Printing, embossing and other decorative options help customers differentiate their products and create a strong visual impact on the shelf.

Innovation and investment in manufacturing

Continuous investment in production technology is central to Herti’s development strategy. The company conducts its own research and development (R&D) on new products, materials, technologies and improvements to manufacturing processes.

Recent investment programmes have included energy-efficient equipment, automated production technologies and modern printing and lacquering solutions. A new 6,000m² production building at its manufacturing site in Pliska is part of a wider investment programme designed to increase capacity, optimise production flows and provide a platform for further technological development.

How Herti integrates sustainability into business strategy

Sustainability has become an increasingly important part of Herti’s development and investment decisions.

Since July 2024, the company has sourced 100% green electricity from solar, wind and hydropower plants, backed by guarantees of origin. Investments in energy efficiency and new production technologies have also delivered measurable reductions in energy consumption and carbon emissions.

Herti has joined the United Nations Global Compact and the Bulgarian Network of the initiative. With this step, the company reaffirms its commitment to sustainable development, ethical business practices, and responsible management.

The company’s progress was independently recognised in 2026, when Herti received an EcoVadis Silver Medal with a score of 75 out of 100. The result placed Herti among the top 15% of companies assessed by EcoVadis worldwide.

The assessment covers Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement, reflecting Herti’s approach to sustainability across the wider business rather than environmental performance alone.

Herti’s expanding international presence

International markets have been an important driver of Herti’s growth for many years. Alongside its established European subsidiaries and Herti US, the company took another significant step in May 2026 with the establishment of Herti South America in Santiago, Chile.

The new subsidiary strengthens Herti’s presence in South America and provides a platform for developing closer relationships with customers in the region.

Herti also maintains direct contact with customers and industry professionals through regular participation in major international exhibitions and conferences, including ProWein, Unified Wine & Grape Symposium, ADI Craft Spirits Conference & Expo, Drinktec, BrauBeviale, SIMEI and other specialised industry events.

Quality, reliability and partnership in closure solutions

Quality and supply reliability remain fundamental to Herti’s customer proposition. The company operates certified management systems including ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, along with the BRC food-packaging safety certification.

In addition, Herti’s approach is based on understanding individual customer requirements and developing long-term relationships. Its international commercial structure, broad manufacturing capabilities and flexible approach allow the company to support customers from product development and decoration through to regular industrial-scale supply.
