SIG, a leading global provider of aseptic carton packaging systems and solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Sole-Mizo, a prominent Hungarian dairy brand, to elevate its packaging capabilities and deliver a superior consumer experience.

This collaboration marks a significant step forward for both companies, aiming to revolutionise the Hungarian dairy market with innovative packaging solutions.

Sole-Mizo, part of Bonafarm Group, has partnered with SIG to install a SIG Midi 12 Aseptic filling machine to fill a wide range of Sole-Mizo dairy products in two of SIG’s packaging formats: SIG MidiBloc and SIG MidiFit.

This new cooperation will introduce the SIG MidiFit family pack to Hungarian consumers for the first time.

SIG said its portfolio's unique shape and design stand out on supermarket shelves and offer many benefits, including drip-free pouring and easy opening and closing for vertical and horizontal storage.

SIG’s filling technology offers many benefits to Sole-Mizo, combining high efficiency and flexibility in the company’s production processes.

Both carton pack formats can be filled on the same SIG Midi 12 Aseptic filling machine in various volumes, from 500ml to one litre, and for the many Sole-Mizo products such as extended-shelf-life and ultra-high temperature milk.

The SIG Midi 12 Aseptic filling machine is reportedly capable of filling 12,000 SIG MidiFit and SIG MidiBloc carton packs per hour.

Packaging formats, volumes, opening solutions, and packaging materials can be switched at speed to maximise production capacity.

“Our filling technology offers the unique opportunity to achieve maximum levels of flexibility for our customers, in terms of products, formats and volumes fillable on the same machine,” said Jovana Pinter, head of Sales South East Europe at SIG.

“Being able to fill different products into different packaging types on the SIG Midi 12 Aseptic filling machine means Sole-Mizo can adapt quickly to changing needs of consumers and retailers.”
