Heritage Foods partner with SIG to package its beverages in aseptic carton packs

Hyderabd Apr 16 (UNI) Heritage Foods Limited, India's second largest private dairy, on Tuesday said it has partnered with SIG to package its beverages in aseptic carton packs.
SIG, headquartered in Neuhausen, Switzerland, has supplied Heritage Foods with state-of-the-art, highly flexible filling solutions and innovative aseptic packaging, that will help position the company to meet evolving consumer needs, the company said in a release here.
Heritage Foods has installed an SIG XSlim 12 Aseptic filling machine at its manufacturing unit in the Medchal−Malkajgiri district, on the outskirts of Hyderabd.
The filling machine can fill 12,000 SIG XSlimBloc carton packs per hour and has the flexibility to fill nine different volume sizes (from 80ml to 200ml) on the same filling line – and it takes less than 15 minutes to complete the volume change.

This will help Heritage to reach diverse consumer groups targeting different price points.
Bhuvaneswari Nara, Vice-Chairperson & Managing Director at Heritage Foods Limited said " With the commissioning of the new line from SIG, we will be launching a wide range of products that cater to the numerous taste preferences of our consumers – from sweet and indulging milkshakes, to refreshing spiced buttermilk. We value our partnership with SIG as we share common values of sustainability and convenience.”
Brahmani Nara, the Executive Director at Heritage Foods Limited said “ In the drinkables segment, growth depends on innovation and distribution expansion and the interplay between the two. This is where the new SIG line is going to make a difference. With the filling technology in place, we can create a wider range of drinkables, and the variable pack sizes allow us to have the same product at multiple attractive price points and open up new consumer segments, which was not possible before our partnership with SIG.”
Like all SIG carton packs, SIG XSlimBloc carton packs have a high share of forest-based renewable materials, a lightweight and space-saving design, are produced using 100% renewable electricity, and designed to be fully recyclable.
Heritage Foods will utilize SIG’s packaging solutions to fill a wide range of its beverages. This will include different flavours of lassi, buttermilk, cold coffee, milkshakes, whey-based energy drinks, and UHT Milk.
Abdelghany Eladib, President & General Manager IMEA at SIG said “With Heritage Foods Limited's strong position in the South Indian market and our innovative packaging solutions, we will be able to diversify the packaging landscape in India".
