SalzburgMilch, a leading dairy producer in Austria, is pioneering advancements in the European dairy sector by becoming the first company on the continent to utilize the cutting-edge SIG DomeMini 12 Aseptic filling line. This innovation marks the debut of its products featuring the SIG DomeMini, a distinctive carton bottle designed for consumers on the move.
The initial offerings in this new packaging will include two of SalzburgMilch’s beloved children’s drinks—Alex, a chocolate milk, and Lisa, a vanilla milk—transforming these familiar favorites into a modern packaging solution that caters to contemporary, fast-paced lifestyles. Furthermore, a range of additional on-the-go products is currently under development with various brand owners and retail partners, expected to hit the market shortly.
The SIG DomeMini packaging merges the environmental and logistical advantages of traditional cartons with the practicality of a bottle. It is specifically designed for UHT products, such as specialty milk and protein beverages, along with plant-based options and meal replacements. This packaging innovation opens up new possibilities for the food and beverage market in Europe. For consumers, the SIG DomeMini enhances convenience through its large, centrally placed closure, making it easy to open, reseal, and store—all while allowing enjoyment down to the last drop.
SalzburgMilch’s transition to the SIG carton bottle underscores its dedication to delivering premium quality and innovation. The collaboration with SIG allows the company to lead the way in bringing the SIG DomeMini to the European dairy landscape, showcasing a packaging solution that stands out due to its visual appeal, user-friendly design, and high percentage of renewable materials—creating added value for both manufacturers and consumers.
For brand owners and retailers, the introduction of SIG DomeMini in Europe encourages partnerships with SalzburgMilch for co-packing opportunities. Located centrally, SalzburgMilch is well-positioned to facilitate efficient logistics and distribution across the region.
At the core of this initiative is the advanced SIG DomeMini 12 Aseptic filling line, engineered to aseptically fill 12,000 packages per hour. This versatile machine can accommodate seven different volume sizes, ranging from 180 to 350 ml, and can switch between volumes in just 15 minutes.
Andreas Gasteiger, Managing Director at SalzburgMilch, stated, “Launching production on the SIG DomeMini 12 Aseptic filling line opens up exciting new avenues for us. The SIG DomeMini aligns perfectly with contemporary consumer needs. The Alex and Lisa offerings in SIG DomeMini are just the starting point—we are already developing additional product concepts to follow.”
Nino Schmid, Senior Key Account Manager at SIG, remarked, “The commencement of commercial production on the SIG DomeMini 12 Aseptic filling line at SalzburgMilch signifies a significant milestone for SIG DomeMini in Europe. Its unique bottle design provides an ideal balance of convenience for consumers, distinct shelf presence, and a substantially reduced plastic usage compared to conventional plastic bottles.”
