Driving PET Innovation Through Experience: The Story of Chip Cereghin & D.E.L.L PET

In an era where industrial expertise is often overlooked in the pursuit of fast growth, **Chip Cereghin founded D.E.L.L PET LLC with a different mission — to bring back real skill, technical knowledge, and hands-on expertise to the PET (polyethylene terephthalate) industry. Established in 2023, D.E.L.L PET is built on a foundation of deep industry experience and an unwavering commitment to quality and operational excellence**.

With over 30 years of experience in PET theory, processing, blow molding, and equipment diagnostics, Chip created a service-first organization designed to support companies in preform and bottle manufacturing — not just through consulting, but by solving real operational problems and training the next generation of technical leaders.

A Legacy of Technical Leadership

Before founding D.E.L.L PET, Chip held critical technical and leadership positions at some of the most respected names in the industry:

• Plastic Technologies Inc. — Global PET support for Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Nestlé.
• Consolidated Container Corp (now Altium) — Senior project and process engineering for PET and HDPE packaging.
• U.S. Military (Iraq) — Managed PET bottling support for six water plants through DOD contracts.
• KIK Custom Products, Western Container Corporation, Grafco, Johnson Controls — Roles ranging from Operations Manager to Corporate Engineer and Maintenance Supervisor.
• U.S. Navy — Electromechanical Technician, where Chip’s technical acumen was first developed and deployed in mission-critical conditions.

This unique combination of corporate engineering, plant operations, and military-grade precision gives D.E.L.L PET a distinctive edge.

What Sets D.E.L.L PET Apart?

D.E.L.L PET isn’t just another consulting firm — it’s a problem-solving powerhouse with a reputation built entirely on referrals and results. Despite having zero advertising, the company has become a multi-million-dollar enterprise, trusted by plant managers and production teams across the globe.

What makes it work?

• Expertise in blow molding equipment across multiple generations
• Deep understanding of PET technologies including multilayer, heatset, and over-molding
• Training capabilities for blow molding teams

From carbonated soft drinks to specialty multilayer bottles, D.E.L.L PET is a trusted partner in optimizing performance and restoring operations when they stall.
