SIPA, a leading Italian company in the development of packaging solutions, has consolidated its collaboration with Universal Robina Corporation, part of the J.G. Summit Holding Group. URC which is current leader in the food sector also entered into the beverage market. The two companies collaborated from the start in the choice of the most suitable technology, the most appropriate process and most competitive packaging in order to obtain high performance and highly flexible lines. In particular, the packaging has been studied to give an economic advantage credit to a container weight reduction program: from the traditional 32 grams of the 500 ml hot fill container to the current 26 grams. Therefore, seven ECS FX 20/80 1-step systems have been supplied, optimized for hot fill and light weight, equipped with a storage silo, bottle aligning device and air conveyors, hot filling monoblock, caps sterilization area, cooling tunnel, labeling device and cartoning machine. In order to improve plant performance, safeguarding flexibility in the production of different containers, each production line has been dedicated to just one format, with the possibility to quickly change the type of product, label and cap. URC’s technological innovation has led the company to play a strategic market position in the Philippine ready to drink market.

It’s just one of the technologies used by URC in producing their key quality products. Most of the technologies used by URC are in line, effective and efficient, reason for why they’re leading packaged consumer products manufacturer and distributor in the Philippines.
