In line with its guiding theme ‘Forward. for better’ during this year’s ANUGA FoodTec, SIG is presenting two of its front-running innovations: SIG Terra, the portfolio of SIG’s most sustainable packaging solutions; plus SIG Prime 55 In-Line Aseptic – the new pre-made aseptic spouted pouch filling machine with in-line sterilization technology.
ANUGA FoodTec is set to take place from 19 to 22 March 2024 in Cologne (Germany), conveniently located close to one of the company’s main production and R&D sites in Linnich. Industry leaders from all over the world will attend the event to experience SIG’s innovative strengths and witness the next big development in aseptic packaging at the SIG Lounge at the ANUGA Congress Center. Visitors will also have the opportunity to partake in an SIG Tour at the SIG Campus in Linnich. This combination of tradeshow activities and a tour at one of SIG’s key sites offers an exclusive chance for visitors to explore SIG’s portfolios and gain insights into the company’s entire value chain – from packaging material development to packaging production and filling machine operation.
Norman Gierow, Director Global Customer Marketing & Positioning at SIG: “Decarbonizing the food and beverage industry and delivering products to consumers in a safe, sustainable, and cost-effective manner are more crucial than ever. We are here to support manufacturers with highly efficient products and technology – we’re thrilled to engage with them in person at the show and showcase our latest innovations.”
Emphasizing the theme of moving “Forward. for better”, these two highlights will be the focus in the SIG Lounge at ANUGA FoodTec and at SIG’s production site in Linnich:
SIG Terra portfolio: SIG’s most sustainable packaging material innovations that can be seamlessly integrated into all SIG systems across all packaging types. The new full barrier aseptic carton packaging material, SIG Terra Alu-free + Full barrier, is a powerful differentiator embodying sustainability in aseptic carton packaging for various product categories such as fruit juices, flavored milk, and plant-based beverages. By removing the aluminum layer, the carbon footprint of the packaging is significantly reduced, making it more environmentally friendly.
SIG Prime 55 In-Line Aseptic: the new aseptic pre-made spouted pouch filling machine with integrated sterilization technology (in-line sterilization). This innovation extends SIG’s aseptic filling technology to spouted pouches, eliminating the need for third-party pre-sterilization. The system simplifies the supply chain, enhances total cost of ownership, and ensures high-quality products with extended shelf life without the need for refrigeration or preservatives.
Christoph Wegener, Chief Markets Officer at SIG: “By showcasing our industry-leading innovations, we demonstrate our commitment to sustainable aseptic packaging and filling solutions. This provides the industry with sustainable, safe, and cost-effective packaging options. Our new pre-made aseptic spouted pouch filling machine with in-line pouch sterilization reduces production complexity and delivers high-quality products with a long shelf life. Our focus on simplifying packaging materials, utilizing renewable resources, and maximizing technical strengths ensures that SIG’s next generation packaging and technology sets the standard for food and beverage manufacturers. Together, we can progress “Forward. for better” at ANUGA FoodTec and beyond.”
