Sidel supplies blow molds of new bottle shape to Coca-Cola Bottling System
26 March 2009 | By Popsop Team
Coca-Cola Bottling System has benefited from the expertise of Sidel’s worldwide network for the manufacture of approximately 2,000 blow molds for its new On-the-Go (OTG) bottle.
According to Sidel, with the 2008 opening of two new Packaging and Tooling Centers (PTC) in Guadalajara (Mexico) and Beijing (China) in 2008, the company has enhanced its local service capability and its customer proximity for new packaging development and blow mold manufacture.
The launch by Coca-Cola’s of the new OTG bottle shape, replacing the traditional contour bottle for small formats (0.4 liter, 0.5 liter and 0.6 liter), started in late 2007 in China, before being extended to Europe in 2008 and now to North and South America. Sidel’s worldwide network of six PTCs has enabled it to handle the order from Coca-Cola Bottling System for nearly 2,000 OTG molds in one year.
