Nomacorc

The manufacturer of alternative closures for wine bottles was founded in 1993 by Belgian entrepreneur Gert Noel and his son Marc in Zebulon, North Carolina, with its European headquarters in Thimister-Clermont (Liège). In January 2015, Nomacorc became part of Vinventions LLC, in which the Noel family owns the largest share. The product range includes various internally sealing closures, such as Nomacorc PlantCorkTM and plastic corks, but also the screw cap Vintop. With production facilities in the USA, Germany, Belgium, Argentina and China, Nomacorc produces around 2.5 billion wine closures annually. In collaboration with several research institutes, Nomacorc is active in basic research on oxygen management in wine. The company manufactures its extensive range using a patented CO extrusion process. The corks consist of an oxygen-permeable inner core and an elastic outer shell that ensures a tight seal.
