Sidel India honoured for supplying and equipment excellence

Sidel India, the Indian unit of Sidel Group, has received two prestigious silver trophies from Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages (HCCB) and leading industry organization, Plastindia Foundation.

2012 started out well for the specialist for complete beverage packaging solutions. In January, at the annual Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Strategic Supplier Summit in Gurgaon, Sidel received the “Supplier Performance Silver Award 2011” in the category “Production Equipment”. The winners are determined according to the performance of their products and services provided to HCCB.

On February 1, the Indian industry association Plastindia awarded Sidel the silver trophy in the category “Innovative Plastics Processing Machinery & Ancillary Equipment”. The prize was awarded on occasion of the Plastindia tradeshow in New Delhi, where the beverage packaging company showcased its “Synergy Combi”. It is the first linear PET stretch blow moulder combined with a linear filler in a single machine that is manufactured in India.

The Plastindia award recognizes the contribution of Sidel’s Synergy Combi, which was developed according to the industry needs for reduced energy consumption and space, combined with increased light-weighting capabilities.

 "This award reflects Sidel's contribution to the Indian packaging industry, especially in terms of innovative equipment to match local market needs," said Subba Bangera, Sidel India managing director and founding director.

“Sidel India looks forward to extending the Synergy Combi’s benefits for juice, milk and even non-beverage applications like liquid detergents and pharmaceutical products,” Mr Bangera also said.
