Sidel in Brief

Showroom with a spotlight on packages
Each year, Sidel organises 250 customer visits on average at their site in Octeville, France. To effectively accommodate these visits, a “packaging showroom” was inaugurated in September 2010, displaying all possibilities in Sidel’s offering. The showroom covers more than 60 m² and has almost 400 bottles.

Large grip for consumer comfort
Elegant and triangular in shape, the three-liter DeepGrip™ is the first PET bottle with a deep blow-moulded grip, requiring no external handle. It is produced using Sidel’s punching-conforming technology (patent pending). Developed in partnership with PTI-Europe, this technology makes it possible to manufacture single-material packages in large, functional formats.

HPR certification for the Beijing site
On August 23, FM Global gave the Sidel Group HPR certification for its new industrial plant in Beijing. FM Global is an insurance
company in the industry specialising in risk prevention services. The HPR certification confirms that the Beijing plant is managed in line with the world’s highest quality standards.

Modulomold™
A single mould, several bottle shapes
Beverage brands manage a wide portfolio of products. To respond to productivity needs as well as the greater customisation of packages, Sidel presents its new, patented technology: modulomold™.

Maximum shape freedom
Bottle shape constraints related to the choice of filling technology are no longer a consideration with FreeShape™. This innovative bottle needs no panels due to its overstroke base, offering maximum shape freedom.
