AeroFlexx is partnering with Consolidated Brands, which trades as ZXP Technologies, to install its proprietary filling equipment at Consolidated Brands' blending and packaging plant in Highlands, Texas. The deployment extends AeroFlexx's hybrid flexible-rigid liquid packaging format, previously used mainly in consumer categories, into automotive and industrial lubricants for the first time, giving brands a regional route to adopt the format at scale.
