, Pa., has granted the first license for its technology to make panel-free, hot-fill PET bottles to Japanese Japanese (jăp'ənēz`), language of uncertain origin that is spoken by more than 125 million people, most of whom live in Japan. There are also many speakers of Japanese in the Ryukyu Islands, Korea, Taiwan, parts of the United States, and  bottle manufacturer Hokkai Can, Tokyo.

) technology, introduced last year in the U.S., offers significant lightweighting ability and design freedom because it eliminates the need for vacuum-uptake panels.

Hokkai says it was drawn to the ATP technology so it could manufacture hot-fill bottles that compete with aseptically packaged beverages. Hokkai expects to begin production by mid-year. A Hokkai subsidiary, Hihon Can Pack, is the largest beverage packager in Japan. Graham: (717) 849-8500 * www.grahampackaging.com
