THE ANALYSIS OF MR ELIECER HERNANDEZ

HEAD OF THE BEZOYA WATER BUSINESS UNIT, WHERE THE NEW LINE HAS BEEN PRODUCING SUCCESSFULLY FOR SEVERAL WEEKS.


Director, why did you go for this type of format?
"The first and most important challenge facing the bottling industry, in Europe and worldwide, is that of sustainability.
For some time now, we have chosen Bag-In-Box packaging as a valid alternative to large formats, since this type of packaging allows reducing the use of plastic and, at the same time, preserving the quality of our product".
 

THE ANALYSIS OF MR ELIECER HERNANDEZ
How have you achieved this goal?
"Mainly through careful selection of our material and technology suppliers. We turned to the world leaders in the sector to obtain a turnkey project and proposal that would guarantee our production and that of our customers.
In particular, for this project, we approached SACMI Beverage, an international technology leader in the development of complete beverage packaging solutions, and Smurfit Kappa, a major player in Europe in paper packaging and bags for Bag in Box".



What were the demands behind this latest investment project?
"Together with our suppliers, we had already developed a line for the production of Bag-In-Box in rectangular format, which has been in production since 2020. Technical reasons and in order to make the packaging more attractive led us to consider the development of a new "octagonal" format with rounded corners.
The response from our partners was immediate and SACMI Beverage supplied the complete solution to form the new cartons and installed it on the existing BIB line”.


What are the preferred formats?
"For this project, we are talking about the 8-litre format for water, which is our flagship product in this segment, along with the 12-litre format".

What are the results a few weeks after the launch of the new format?
"The solution is already in full operation, with the new moulder connected downstream of the existing filler.
We have particularly appreciated SACMI's ability to act as a single point of contact for all phases, actively collaborating with our technicians in the effective management of this important transition.
In particular, we were able to make the format changeover in a very short time, which also underlines the great versatility of the technology we chose".
