What is the origin of the name AERION?

AEROSOL. I am an Aerosol packaging fan. After 20 years in this industry, this packaging inspires me as much. I am convinced of the great potential of this packaging and product delivery option. This packaging has a fascinating side for me.

ORION was a giant hunter of Greek mythology. It was placed by Zeus among the stars which gave the constellation of Orion.

Comments:

  • Mythology is for me a source of inspiration.
  • The Constellation of Orion consists of a billion stars. One of them bears the name of Betelgeuse. It is believed to be the brightest star in the universe. Betelgeuse is the chosen name for the revolutionary new can sealing project initiated and managed by Aerion Packaging & Conseil.
  • “ Which sets its course on a star does not deviate ”, Leonardo da Vinci.
