Tailor-made ideas SIG Combibloc works continuously to develop and improve its products for the liquid dairy industry. Its objective is to provide the customer with appropriate solutions to suit current market developments, plus extra benefits, every time. There are countless examples of this. Spanish company Leche Celta chooses large format carton packs from SIG Combibloc for its UHT milk products, and has brought out a special children’s milk with added vitamins in combiblocMidi. The trend for products with healthy added value has also caught on with French dairy cooperative Sodiaal, which sells Candia, France’s best-selling milk brand. In 2002, the company’s milk products were launched in a new formulation with added vitamins, in combiblocStandard with the combiTwist closure. When it comes to the ever more popular milk alternatives, too, many providers are choosing to work with SIG Combibloc. In its Hi-5 brand, Friesland Foods Foremost Thailand has combined soy milk with additional nutrients. Batávia, one of Brazil’s biggest food manufacturers, has launched Batavo Suco + Soja, a lactose- and cholesterol-free drink manufactured from 100% vegetable products. For the packaging of their products, both of these companies count on the expertise of SIG Combibloc. Another market trend currently making itself felt is the growing consumer demand for convenience. Products that are easy to transport and easy to use are increasingly sought-after. Whether it’s Andechser organic goat’s milk in combiblocMidi, or the new condensed milk from Russian bottler Unimilk with the combiSmart closure for easy opening and good portionability – SIG Combibloc is the partner of choice. Inner Mongolia Mengniu Dairy Industry, the first company in the world to launch a series of milk products containing pieces of real fruit in a range of flavours, made the same choice. The creation of this product was made possible by SIG Combibloc’s flexible filling technology, the only such technology in the world, which means chunky products too can be filled in aseptic carton packs. Mengniu chose the small-format combiblocMini 250 ml with drinking straw for its range of fruity milk drinks, meaning that as well as meeting the demand for convenience, the company is also catering to another current trend – on-the-go consumption in single-serve packs. On top of these special design innovations, word has got around of SIG Combibloc’s prowess in dealing with major customers: eleven of the world’s top 15 manufacturers of liquid dairy products work with SIG Combibloc. |
