PepsiCo bottler MenaBev wanted to achieve faster transitions between bottle designs and formats on its PET lines. Sidel assisted with the line changeover - now they can switch between seven bottle formats and achieve improved line efficiency.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

MenaBev, based in Jeddah, is the leading bottler in the Middle East and North Africa (\"MENA\"). The company's MEGA Plant is one of the world's largest bottling plants for PepsiCo<\/a> on 300,000 square metres. This Facility meets the production needs of millions of consumers in the region<\/strong>. The plant is supported by a local distribution centre.<\/p>

Sidel<\/a> supported MenaBev in actually meeting its deadlines for the product launch on the market. Both projects entailed a wide range of work to ensure that one of the three Aquafina formats with a new look, while the other has four new Carolina formats<\/strong> was able to take over.<\/p>

In response to the increased sugar taxes in the Saudi Arabian market, MenaBev is also using Sidel's expertise to introduce new formats of the Carolina bottle. The two PET Combi lines were each successfully customised in one week. In addition, Sidel's technicians were able to maximise production output. Now the Aquafina system up to 60,000 bottles per hour<\/strong> compared to the previous 54,000 bph. At the same time, the Carolina plant was able to maintain its optimised speed of 48,000 bph.<\/p>

As part of the design process for Aquafina, Sidel focussed on supporting MenaBev's sustainability goals. This included delivering a lightweight, high performance bottle for the iconic brand. The technical development of the new design included a complete Feasibility study, laboratory tests and performance tests of the stretch blow moulding process<\/strong>. This approach was applied to the 330 ml, 500 ml and 1.5 litre Aquafina bottles to ensure high performance. The new Aquafina design resulted in a lower weight for the 330 ml bottle. Thanks to a Reduction of raw material by 10 per cent<\/strong> optimises the industrial performance of the bottle and creates a positive consumer experience.<\/p>

\"Our ability to customise and convert existing Sidel lines enables customers like MenaBev to respond quickly to global changes and market demands. The design of the Aquafina bottle has always been iconic. Sidel is proud to have used its packaging design expertise to support the technical intricacies of creating a new bottle for this recognised brand. The bottle has not only maintained high performance, but also delivers the same positive consumer experience and contributes to MenaBev's commitment to sustainability.\"<\/p>
