Vilsa is the new sleeve partner of the She-Wolves
VfL Wolfsburg and Vilsa-Brunnen Otto Rodekohr GmbH have broadened their partnership
The family business based in Bruchhausen-Vilsen
has been VfL’s official water partner since July 2022
Vilsa is now increasing its commitment and will be present on the sleeves of the She-Wolves’ shirts in the UEFA Women’s Champions League and DFB Cup
“We are delighted with the extension to Vilsa’s partnership with VfL Wolfsburg and would like to thank them for the strong commitment that they are demonstrating to the She-Wolves,” said VfL managing director Michael Meeske
“We hope to enjoy lots of exciting and successful matches with Vilsa in this year’s Champions League and DFB Cup.”
“We are very pleased to be expanding our strong partnership with the She-Wolves via sleeve sponsorship in the Women’s DFB Cup and the UEFA Women’s Champions League,” said Julia Kornau
“Being a partner of this dynamic and successful team not only underlines our passion for women’s football but also the importance of the sport
Together we can achieve great things – both on and off the pitch.”
Vilsa bottling plant relies on KHS for non-returnable containers
To date, the KHS coating of wafer-thin, chemically pure glass on the inside wall of PET bottles was primarily applied to improve the quality and shelf life of sensitive soft drinks and juice. Vilsa-Brunnen Otto Rodekohr GmbH is now the first mineral water bottling plant to profit from Plasmax technology
the family business is consistently investing in its product quality and the long-lasting freshness protection of its premium beverages – and in doing so is setting standards on the market
The mineral water Vilsa extracts from deep underground in Bruchhausen-Vilsen in the German federal state of Lower Saxony is over a thousand years old and naturally pure
Thick layers of clay protect the deep spring water from environmental impact and pollution
Through sustainable water ‘harvesting’ the mineral water bottling plant ensures that this precious resource is used in moderation and with great care
The company says it owes a lot to its natural surroundings – and wishes to give as much back
CEO of the Vilsa Group and a representative of the fourth generation of the family firm
the long-term protection of his spring is a fundamental concern
Besides premium mineral water containing various levels of carbon dioxide
the product portfolio also includes fruit spritzers
All varieties of Vilsa mineral water have been organically certified since 2021 and are thus subject to the strictest threshold values and highest sustainability standards commonly applied on the German mineral water market
The bottler has also been provably climate-neutral since 2021
By actively promoting various sustainability measures in agriculture
Vilsa helps to maintain a high quality of the soil and groundwater in the vicinity of its spring
This striving to protect the local environment ultimately triggered the bottler’s decision to switch over to KHS Plasmax coating technology for all non-returnable containers used to fill the VILSA brand
The advantages are obvious: FreshSafe PET combines the low weight and robustness of the plastic container with the much better barrier properties of the glass bottle
The tried-and-tested system protects the bottle against oxygen pickup and carbon dioxide loss
which both extends the shelf life and increases flavor stability
FreshSafe PET also provides a number of key positives when it comes to establishing closed recycling loops
Unlike PET bottles that contain additives to improve the barrier effect and shelf life
the KHS equipment permits full bottle-to-bottle reuse as the interior coating is completely washed off during the recycling process
“Our consumers know that in Vilsa they get naturally pure
We thus aim to give each product the best possible packaging regarding quality and sustainability,” says Henning Rodekohr
“By only using FreshSafe PET for our non-returnable containers in the future
we’re consciously exploiting the benefits of glass in relation to freshness and shelf life
Our products are therefore more effectively guarded against external influences and their flavor is even better assured.”
The characteristics of Vilsa mineral water are its pH
natural ingredients and gentle mineral content
This makes it a sensorily demanding product
that reacts extremely sensitively to off-flavors or sunlight
Thanks to the wafer-thin barrier of chemically pure glass in the containers
VILSA’s natural taste is now protected against oxygen pickup and loss of flavor and CO2 for a considerably longer period of time
The PET material also loses none of its proven benefits
meaning that consumers profit from top product quality
Back in 2019 the Lower Saxon mineral water bottling plant switched the material of all of its non-returnable bottles over to [r]PET
In adding coating technology to its plant engineering setup
the company is now continuing its drive for sustainability
Both the EPBP (European PET Bottle Platform) and North America’s APR (Association of Plastic Recyclers) have confirmed that FreshSafe PET is fully recyclable
The container’s suitability for use with foods has also been officially established by the US Food and Drug Administration or FDA
As the interior glass coating is less than 0.1 micrometers thick and chemically bonded to the inside wall
It cannot be accidentally removed or flake off when force is applied to the bottle
with the coating only separating off during the recycling process
As the coating is also completely transparent
the PET bottles retain their crystal-clear appearance
The first coated bottles are now being distributed to retailers
with more and more consumers able to purchase the new style of packaging and test the noticeably longer fresh taste of VILSA beverages for themselves
The market launch was preceded by an intensive development process
Although a number of well-known bottlers of challenging sensitive products such as juice or carbonated soft drinks have relied on environmentally-friendly Plasmax barrier technology for years
its use for natural organic mineral water was new to the specialists from Dortmund
the experts from KHS steadily worked to meet requirements in the runup to the launch of FreshSafe PET for all container sizes from 0.5 to 1.5 liters
“We ran extensive simulations to effect an optimum separation behavior of the reaction gas in the coating process and thus achieve perfect distribution of the wafer-thin glass coating in the bottle,” explains Stefan Knappmann
head of Sales for Germany and Switzerland at KHS
“Our bottle and shape specialists defined the exact recipe for each container size
product and carbon dioxide level.” “Our investment and trust in KHS thus take us a big step forward,” claims Henning Rodekohr
“We’re setting new standards on the market with respect to quality and sustainability.”
a latest-generation InnoPET Blomax stretch blow molder was installed that was combined with the barrier unit to form an InnoPET FreshSafe block during the later development process
the PET bottles are coated according to the PICVD method
a process first used in the pharmaceutical industry
the containers are turned upside down and passed on to the coating chamber where a reaction gas mixture is introduced into the bottle in a fine vacuum and this is subsequently transformed into a plasma state by microwaves
In this state silicon oxide – the chemically pure glass commonly found in most households – is deposited on the inside of the container
At VILSA bottles are stretch blow molded and coated at a maximum rate of 24,500 containers per hour
The most popular non-returnable format is the 0.75-liter bottle
“With the new InnoPET FreshSafe block from KHS we’re now the first mineral water bottling plant to have the most innovative barrier technology available on the market – and thus the optimum packaging system for our valuable products,” smiles Henning Rodekohr
“We collect our water from its protected source deep under the ground in a way that’s sustainable and pass it on to our consumers in a perfectly preserved state.”
At VILSA a latest-generation InnoPET Blomax stretch blow molder was first installed that was then combined with the barrier unit to form an InnoPET FreshSafe block during the later development process
VILSA-BRUNNEN Otto Rodekohr GmbH is the first mineral water bottling plant to profit from Plasmax Barrier technology from KHS
enabling the German beverage producer to continue its drive for sustainability
0.75 and 1-liter bottles were already suitable for coating; only the largest and thus most challenging container holding 1.5 liters had to undergo minor changes barely discernible to consumers to ensure its vacuum stability during the process
This makes it the very first 1.5-liter FreshSafe PET bottle on the market

Alberta’s Alana Heise (Terrascape Racing) earned the bronze medal at the UCI masters cyclocross world championships held on Jan
“I couldn’t have done it without the support of my husband
who is my coach and decided to pit for me rather than race himself
who also convinced me to take a second bike to Europe,” Heise said
to my teammate Ray who lent me wheels for all the big races
my ‘cross-fanatic Terrascape teammates and friends who are happy to watch any Belgian race
tire pressures and the suppleness of tubular casings
And thanks to the overwhelming support and excitement from the Alberta cycling community.”
Germany’s Manja Wall (RSV Bruchhausen-Vilsen/Schmo) won the women’s 40-49 title by 1:33 minutes ahead of runner up from Britain Pepe Phillips (VC Darmstadt) and an additional 16 seconds to Heise
The women competed in wet and muddy conditions on a 2.5-km circuit that included sections of grass
“I was happy with my race given where I was at and my level of experience,” Heise said
I didn’t know what to expect in terms of the level of competition and I was happy to be in the mix with the other women
three of us were close enough to have to fight it out on course
Heise’s main focus is mountain biking but she picked up cyclocross four years ago for fun and as a way to stay in shape
she competed in the local midweek cyclocross series
several skills training sessions and competed in the Alberta cyclocross championships in November
“My team was so great in setting up race simulations and group sessions to keep us all motivated,” she said
Racing in Gossau was Heise’s first world championships experience
made even more memorable because some of her family members live within driving distance of the race course
“My sister lives three hours away from Gossau
so the opportunity for a surprise family visit
and racing at masters worlds wearing the Canadian jersey was too special to pass up,” she said
The UCI elite cyclocross world championships will be held on Feb
