Case Study: Sidel Supports Mont Roucous France Growth with New Bottling Line
Founded in 1977, the Mont Roucous company was sold to Danone in 2000, and in 2007 it became an independent company again. From its early days, Mont Roucous has positioned its water as ideal for mothers and babies and has long been recommended by maternity clinics. With its very low mineral content, the water is perfect for the digestive systems of newborns and infants, who do not yet have mature kidneys. To respond to parents’ needs for greater practicality, Mont Roucous has switched from the 1.5 L to the 1 L format. To handle this increase in production of 1 L bottles, Mont Roucous collaborated with Sidel, one of the world’s leading providers of packaging solutions for liquid foods, and opted for a Sidel complete bottling line with an output rate of 40,000 bottles per hour. After the installation of this new line in October 2021, the 100 million bottle milestone was reached in late May 2022.
