SIDEL HAS INSTALLED ITS FIRST COMPLETE ASEPTIC PRODUCTION LINE IN THAILAND.
The installation was for a new company set up to serve the whole southeastern region of Asia. When Thai businessman, Pongsakorn Pongsak established the General Beverage Company Limited in his home country, he was entering the beverage industry for the first time. In doing so, he turned to Sidel for the first time too, for the supply of a turnkey aseptic PET packaging line.
From textiles to aseptic bottling
Founder and owner, Kitti Pongsakdi (Pongsakorn's father), originally established the textile company, 'Suwan Spinning and Weaving' - which is today one of the top producer of yarn and fabric in Thailand - along with other textile business interests. This latest manufacturing venture in the beverage industry by Mr. Pongsakorn Pongsak in the General Beverage Company saw the business become a co-packer for the major ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) beverage producers.
