The new packaging line has been specially designed to provide a High user-friendliness, ergonomics and resource efficiency to guarantee the highest quality. The system is designed to significantly reduce the consumption of water, energy and plastic. Fabrizio Quagliuolo, CEO of AQua Vera, praised the long-standing collaboration with Sidel:
„Sidel has always supported us in all projects and has proven to be a reliable partner.“
A central element of the new line is Sidel's Combi technology, which Blow moulding, filling and capping machines in a single system combined. This reduces the space required and ensures more hygienic and efficient production.
