Been a bit since I've drawn Sidel, and opted to have her looking festive for Christmas.
Sidel helping PepsiCo partner install PET line in Pakistan
With an increasing demand forecast for soft drinks in Pakistan in 2023, PepsiCo partner Northern Bottling Company is relying on Sidel to install a high-volume, high-speed carbonated soft drinks (CSD) line.
Sidel is applying its leading packaging solutions expertise to create the new complete line for Haidri Beverages Group’s subsidiary, Northern Bottling Company (NBC), in Peshawar. Northern Bottling Company is a market leader in beverages for Pakistan’s northern region and has been a successful PepsiCo franchise for over 25 years.
Offering a capacity of over 45,000 bottles per hour, the line represents a new era of innovative technologies, high efficiency, and productivity in Pakistan's beverage industry. The new line will help unlock further capacity for Northern Bottling Company, which itself has seen volume growth of 30% in the year 2021-2022. It will handle four bottle sizes and five recipes, producing PepsiCo beverages Pepsi, 7up, Mirinda, Pepsi Diet, and Sting energy drink, in 300ml, 345ml 500ml, and 1500ml formats.
Serving a dynamic market
Sidel is enlarging its local expertise in Pakistan, a dynamic market, where PepsiCo and NBC are playing a significant role.
“Sidel’s absolute commitment to service, along with their unique ability to optimize layout within a high-speed line equipped with cutting-edge technologies has impressed us. These were the key reasons that we have entrusted Sidel with our new investment,” says Ali Navaiz, Group Chief Operating officer, Haidri Beverages Group.
“We are excited by this collaboration,” says Vedat Guler, Sales director Middle East, Sidel. “We’re dedicated to helping NBC achieve its commercial, sustainability, and efficiency goals by adding value with our innovative bottle design, and lower energy and resources solutions.”
Sustainable production
Sidel’s complete line will help NBC save energy and resources. In fact, Sidel’s Combi is able to blow bottles using the lowest possible blowing pressure, and the air is recycled. It also offers water savings on bottle base cooling. The line is capable of running recycled PET (r-PET) bottles, and with Sidel’s patent StarLite bottle base, NBC and PepsiCo’s future sustainability goals will be met. The innovative StarLite bottle base optimizes the quantity of PET per bottle, contributing to sustainability both by reducing the use of material and lowering emissions during transport.
Reduced total cost
Sidel is confident of meeting NBC’s high-performance targets and expectations, knowing that its line engineering and technology, innovative solutions, resource efficiency, and packaging design improvements, together with its local service and aftersales support, will add value and reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Blow Mould For Rotary Machines
Rotary blowing machines consist of multiple cavities mounted individually in blowing stations. These blowing stations rotate at breath-taking speed, producing thousands of bottles per hour per station. The most common configurations of rotary machines consist of 8 to 20 cavities. Awanti manufactures moulds for several rotary blowing machines like Sidel, Krones, Techlong, Sacmi, SMI, SIG and KHS.
Sidel’s 5,000th labeler delivered for Ting Hsin
Sidel has reached a new performance and quality milestone in the company’s history by delivering its 5,000 th labeler for Ting Hsin International Group (Ting Hsin) in China. Having one of the largest installed bases of Sidel labelers globally, Ting Hsin once again chose Sidel, and its latest generation labeling solution EvoDeco, to meet today’s market demands with an innovative labeling solution is designed for greater flexibility, modularity, and cost-efficiency.
The long-term cooperation between Sidel and Ting Hsin dates back to 2005, when the first 20 labelers for water lines were installed. As one of the leading beverage players in the world, the famous beverage brand Master Kong is part of Ting Hsin, leading the ready-to-drink (RTD) tea segment in China with a 46% market share and being one of the top two carbonated soft drink (CSD) manufacturers in China with around 30% market share. Ting Hsin’s emphasis on food and product safety is reflected in the insistence on installing reliable equipment.
Many trends, influenced by regulations and consumers’ healthy lifestyle choices and their concerns about the environment, are changing the beverage market in China at an incredible speed. People prefer to buy drinks from brands that embody their beliefs. Therefore, it is crucial for brands to make every effort to optimize brand experience with cost-efficient and sustainable production. Over the years, Sidel’s experience and innovative solutions have been proven by flexibility, modularity and reliability.
As the new addition to Ting Hsin’s labeler family, the EvoDeco Roll-Fed is equipped with additional functions not previously available, such as the automatic vacuum drum cleaning system and automatic label removal both enabling consistent uptime. Based on a common core and optimized design, the labeler enables different stock-keeping units (SKUs).
The EvoDeco platform can provide several labeling applications in one multi-technology machine or a single labeling application for optimized uptime and lower total cost of ownership (TCO). The labeler design is also simplified, with greater attention paid to ergonomics for more user-friendly operation and reduced maintenance.
As one of the top three players in providing labeling solutions worldwide, Sidel has continuously ensured and promoted the image of various brands since 1976. At its dedicated labeling plant in Mantua, Italy, the company is not only manufacturing equipment with hot melt, cold glue, roll-fed, and adhesive labeling applications for PET, glass and can containers in varied sizes but also providing outstanding services to support its customers worldwide.
