The SIG Group is ushering a new era in food packaging in Asia. In January this year, the company introduced in China the combibloc ECOPLUS, a carton packaging without an aluminium layer.
Instead, the aseptic or sterilised packaging expert uses a patented barrier lining that protects liquid products such as milk and juices while significantly reducing its client’s carbon footprint.
The innovation is only part of SIG’s highly customised, end-to-end packaging and filling solutions that leverage about 170 years of experience.
“From a small company, we have transformed ourselves into one of the best innovators in food and beverage packaging systems and solutions worldwide,” says Fan Lidong, president and general manager for Asia-Pacific north of SIG. “We have a heritage of breakthroughs within the food and beverage packaging industry, many of which have revolutionised the way food is produced. We believe that to become truly great, we need to be forever advancing and innovating solutions for an ever-changing world.”
