7th May 2024 – The SACMI Group announces the sale of its Beverage Business Unit to Omnia Technologies, a global group with Italian roots that provides automation technology and expertise in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical sectors. Once signed, the agreement is expected to be closed by the end of the summer. This is part of an operation that, within the wider Omnia strategy, aims to create one of the world’s largest beverage packaging operators.
The main driver behind this operation is the portfolio of products and skills brought by SACMI Beverage: these are complementary to and synergistic with the development plans of Omnia Technologies, which initiated an expansion strategy within this sector some time ago. SACMI Beverage has consolidated expertise in the stretch-blowing, filling and labeling processes for products such as mineral water, carbonated soft drinks, beer, wine and spirits. It enjoys a solid reputation and has seen its revenues grow steadily in recent years. Such capabilities therefore match those of Omnia Technologies and are strategically vital to the actuation of their growth plan.
The SACMI Group has been a key player in the business since 2000 when it established SACMI Labeling; subsequent development of Filling and Stretch-Blow Molding operations made SACMI a global player in the design and sale of complete beverage plants. Since entering the sector, the Group has invested heavily in the Business’s growth via a policy of strategic takeovers, consolidation, product range expansion and technological improvement. Business performance has been highly positive over the last few years. Today, SACMI Beverage is a solid company and a global beverage industry leader across all products and markets.
