Market
Sidel is a market thought leader, offering customers valuable insights into the global megatrends shaping the beverage, food, home, personal care and packaging industries. We help our partners to develop effective strategies to navigate these forces, which range from quality, innovation and sustainability to health, variety and the constantly evolving preferences of today’s consumers.

Technology
A new era in blow moulding
The EvoBLOW Laser is a technological breakthrough that delivers lighter, yet stronger PET containers, setting new standards in lightweighting. At the same time, it enhances production line efficiency by eliminating warm-up or transition time and allowing for real-time speed modulation. Consistent quality comes with ease, as laser technology is not sensitive to variations in the environment, unlike traditional solutions. This new blow moulding technology facilitates higher recycled PET content, reduces waste and provides energy saving opportunities. It also delivers design freedom through invisible Power Rings™ that replace the bulky ribs of traditional bottles to allow lightweight premium bottles. “Sidel’s launch of the EvoBLOW Laser demonstrates three essential ingredients working in harmony – innovation, customer partnership and commitment,” said Pietro Cassani, Sidel President and CEO. “The EvoBLOW Laser not only lives up to Sidel’s name and pioneering history but is a timely answer to the increasing pressure faced by producers today – to reduce costs while at the same time increasing sustainability and performance.”
Meet Aseptic Predis X4® – the perfect match for today’s market needs
The Aseptic Predis X4 is an integrated blow-fill-cap solution that incorporates Predis® dry preform sterilisation, making it ideal for sensitive beverages in PET bottles. The system combines the highest food safety standards, ease of use, extreme flexibility and sustainability advantages. The technology ensures a high level of decontamination, minimising the sterile zone while maintaining high performance. It includes features such as a ‘smart box’ for monitoring aseptic conditions without stopping production. Its sustainable design uses no water for sterilisation, minimises greenhouse gas emissions and chemical use, and reduces air consumption through 100% blow-air recycling.
