Coca-Cola chooses Sidel for new blow molds

COCA-COLA Bottling System's new On-the-Go bottle has benefited from the expertise of Sidel's worldwide network Packaging and Tooling Centers (PTCs). With the 2008 opening of two new PTCs in Guadalajara, Mexico and Beijing in 2008, Sidel has enhanced its local service capability and its customer proximity for new packaging development and blow mold manufacture. The launch of the new On-the-Go (OTG) bottle shape, replacing the traditional contour bottle for small formats (0.4 liter, 0.5 liter and 0,6 liter), started in late 2007 in China, before being extended to Europe in 2008 and now to North and South America. Sidel's unique, worldwide network of six PTCs has enabled it to handle the major order from Coca-Cola Bottling System for nearly 2,000 OTG molds in one year.
