This facility will also provide its customers with valuable insights into the new solution across the entire manufacturing journey – from barrier creation to packaging material and filled package production.
In its mission to create a fully regenerative food packaging system, SIG is steadily increasing the paper content of its aseptic cartons, to enhance renewability, and further reduce carbon footprints and the use of fossil-based materials.
Following the success of this packaging material innovation in the field of single-serve aseptic cartons, SIG is now expanding the alu-free option into the juice category and a multi-serve format for the first time.
Following the successful start of operations in early 2023, the company will invest an additional $35 million beginning in 2025, reinforcing its long-term commitment to the markets of Canada, the United States, Mexico, and Central America.
SIG is scaling up the world’s first, aluminum-layer-free full-barrier packaging material to multi-serve aseptic cartons and ready to provide it at scale to customers around the globe.
Designed with cutting-edge technology, the plant in the state of Gujarat has an initial annual production capacity of up to 4 billion aseptic carton packs, meeting the highest environmental standards while creating more than 300 local jobs.
