1 Profitability is easier than you may think Discover water the proven possibilities

2 Water is life and it s needed all around the world The water market is characterised by price competition and growing demands for safety, convenience and value 229 billion litres of bottled water were distributed and consumed all over the world in 2012, representing 37% of the global soft drinks market. However even though the rapidly growing population has greater access to bottled water in general, many parts of the world lack the means or the infrastructure to live up to the demand. What consumers demand and you need Consumers depend on water for life and wellbeing. They are increasingly health-conscious, and demand safe drinking water that is packaged hygienically. They look for bottle shapes that differentiate an otherwise standard commodity, and that fit their lifestyle with the convenience of on-the-go formats that are easy to handle and transport. Finally, although many water consumers will pay a premium for a brand they can trust a brand that s eco-friendly and ethical they want more value for money. Here at Sidel, we understand that you require the line flexibility to meet changing consumer needs, differentiate your brand, manage multiple products on the same line and ensure shorter product cycles. However, you also need the production reliability to provide a consistently safe highquality output, use limited resources more efficiently, account for strict legal regulations, and excel in an increasingly competitive market. With 70% of your total costs (ex-works) accounting for the water package itself, every saving counts and can even contribute to your sustainability agenda. As a result, you require complete solutions and holistic services that can make a real difference to your business. The solution is A Better Match While it may seem impossible to get two contradictory things like flexibility and reliability at once, we give you a Better Match of both. A Better Match is the optimum combination of what you need, when you need it, and it s the philosophy that drives everything we do. It s about designing innovative and functional bottle concepts that are simultaneously more eco- and cost-efficient to produce. It s about differentiating your brand with production that delivers the same high results every time. Moreover, it s about providing local support backed by our global expertise. When it comes to your needs as a liquid packager, we can deliver A Better Match by equipping your water production with the following four Proven Possibilities. 2 3

4 Bottles designed by Some consumers may believe that water is water, so it s extremely important to differentiate our brand and marketing profile. A major part of that is the bottle design. Line flexibility Isklar, Norway Whatever the shape for every demand Proven 3 times more configurations to better match your needs Differentiate your brand on the market with unique designs and versatile production To help you handle multiple formats and diversify your brand, we are able to boost your line flexibility with equipment that can be configured in hundreds of possible ways. Our new Sidel Matrix system is even scalable, so that you can easily and frequently adapt your production to consumer needs and to what the market demands. One line, many shapes and sizes Based on proven technology, our systems are able to handle various types of beverages, recipes and bottle formats. With up to three sizes of blowing stations, you receive full freedom of shape to better highlight your brand attributes, and the ability to process single-serve (up to 750ml), multi-serve (up to 2L) or extended bottles family (up to 3.5L) bottles in original PET or Recycled PET (R-PET). Our in-house packaging-design expertise and extensive capabilities allow us to offer you valuable support, from initial sketches, models and feasibility studies, moulds and packagedependent parts to global packaging solutions all while keeping the end-product top of mind and aiming to reduce your time-to-market. You can also benefit from the flexibility of two different filling valves available: the magnetic flow meter valve for standard mineral water or the new Vortex valve in order to manage pure water with very low conductivity. As an option, automated changeovers help you manage different shapes and sizes of water products on the same line while meeting your daily output quotas. Plus, our labellers accurately apply rollfed, cold glue, hot glue, adhesive or shrink sleeve labels, making your products ever more eye-catching. Withstanding time Our packaging solutions including blowers, fillers, Combis, labellers, and more are designed with the future in mind. Our latest equipment is even future-proof, meaning it can easily incorporate new formats and advances in technology. Options, upgrades and line conversions are available for all our machines to maintain performance and suit your business needs as they progress over time. 6 7

5 Bottle designed by Product integrity In order to create customer loyalty, you have to maintain the quality of the product. For that, you need good technicians, but above all, good equipment. That is what we have found in Sidel s Ultraclean Combi. Guedila, Algeria True to the brand safely produced Produce consistently safe, high quality packaging Consumers expect packaging to protect the quality of the water they drink, its freshness and its taste. This makes hygiene very important in preserving the integrity of water, especially for premium brands or in regions where tap water is not safe to drink. So, based on our 150-year beverage history and 30 years working with PET, our microbiology capabilities, equipment design, material and packaging knowledge, and line engineering competences combine to improve hygiene all down the line. Hygienic design, higher food safety An optimised hygienic filling concept has been designed for still water to prevent contact between the bottle and the filling valve in order to minimise any risk of cross-contamination and ensure food safety. An option for a reduced single enclosure under positive pressure from filtered air also helps to avoid contamination from external ambient air. Plus, bringing together all the benefits of our blowing and filling innovation into one high-impact solution, the Sidel Matrix Combi blow-fill-cap solution improves hygiene even further by bottling still water in an integrated, safe environment. Low scrap, strong quality How your packages look and feel ultimately affects the drinking experience and how your customers will perceive your brand. That s why we deliver top package performance with consistent results. Our Finite Element Analysis (FEA) capabilities allow us to digitally review package performance and quality before industrial production, and self-regulation and quality control mechanisms during blowing ensure that bottle strength for even light-weight bottles lives up to quality standards. Brand recognition is further improved with labels that can be applied with increased accuracy. In any case, we ll work with you to evaluate your water products characteristics, shelf life, distribution, packaging materials and filling technologies in order to optimise hygiene, maintain bottle quality and ensure greater food safety for your customers.

6 Bottles designed by We ordered a Sidel complete water line with Combi solution. The line, which runs at a speed of 16,000 bph for 1.5 L, was fully operational only a month later. Production efficiency Spritzer Group, Malaysia Running water production non-stop earnings Proven 600 Combi give Sidel the largest installed base of integrated blow-fill-cap solutions worldwide Ensure fast and efficient production with optimal uptime In an industry where uptime is critical to profitability, it is important to keep your water production running at all times. So, based on our leading expertise and the largest installed base worldwide for water, we offer some of the highest speed and overall equipment efficiency (OEE) in the industry. The reliability of our dedicated high-speed production lines enables high uptime at maximum speeds for on-the-go water bottle production. Less downtime, more control For commodities like water, low margins and high price competition leave little time for downtime. That s why, all our robust and reliable equipment aim to speed up necessary changeovers and keep maintenance to a minimum. Although when maintenance is required, it is quick and easy due to safe, ergonomic machines. We obtain a holistic outlook of all industrial processes right from the start to manage performance along the entire line. The embedded machine intelligence of the Sidel Matrix blower, for example, increases self-monitoring and process automation to improve quality control and minimise process deviations. Plus, the Sidel Matrix Combi system is equipped with a unique, simple and logical Human Machine Interface (HMI) to drive machine processes by just one operator and improve global efficiency and performance. Maximum efficiency over time Several Sidel services, such as preventative maintenance, 24/7-hotline support and remote access assistance are designed to keep your lines running at maximum efficiency over time. Our Efficiency Improvement Tool (EIT ) is particularly useful for high-speed water lines to measure performance, discover issues, reduce losses and increase output

7 Bottles designed by Consumption reduction To boost efficiency and maintain an edge in the competitive market, we became interested in the savings potential possible through short-neck conversion. Zywiec Zdroj (subsidiary of Danone), Poland The lighter the bottle the greater the savings Benefit from less materials and energy required In today s price-conscious competitive market, approximately 70% of your total costs relate to the water bottle itself with distribution and logistics at 20% and actual filling at only 10%. Material and energy prices are also rising at an incredible rate, making it ever important to cut costs. Lighter costs from lower consumption To maximise margins, many producers today strive to light-weight their bottles in order to optimise raw material consumption, which reduces their environmental impact and production costs. Our team of packaging designers and engineers can help you do just that all without compromising packaging durability, performance, appearance and feel to provide a drinking experience in line with your brand, and deliver A Better Match. We review the bottle from top to bottom, and incorporate a re-designed neck finish along with light-weighted closure. Our unique preform neck protection in the oven combined with integrated quality-control systems and auto-adjustment functionalities minimise the standard deviation of the bottle blown and achieve the optimal weight without sacrificing quality and consistency. What s more, our advanced sleeving technologies allow you to label even ultra light-weight bottles with thinner film, eco-responsible materials and less glue or solvents. With lighter packaging overall, you ll also benefit from lighter transportation costs. Our tested and proven eco-responsible machines improve cost-efficiency even further by requiring less energy, air, chemicals and water. Nothing is wasted. The Sidel Matrix blowers, for example, use up to 45% less power in the oven and 35% less power for air compression, the labellers cut consumption by up to 40%, and the fillers reduce energy by up to 30% by using servomotors instead of traditional drive systems. ECO Services We also offer a range of eco-responsible services. Our ECO Audit, ECO Booster and ECO Efficiency Improvement Tool (ECO EIT ) are all designed to review the current status of your line for eco-inefficiencies, and find new costsaving ways to improve your environmental impact without compromising production efficiency.
