interpack 2026: Sidel masters packaging and line complexity

Octeville-sur-Mer, Normandy, France

At Interpack 2026, Sidel will demonstrate its expertise in the Food, Home Care, Personal Care and Beverage markets. Visitors will be invited to explore the latest innovations, from complete lines to high-efficiency equipment, designed to master growing packaging and production complexity. Backed by advanced engineering and proven line expertise, the company will introduce smart, user-focused technologies that enhance productivity and flexibility.

With a deep understanding of market needs, and over 40 years in complete lines for alcoholic and non-alcoholic producers, Sidel comes to Interpack with a renewed commitment to delivering complete line solutions and smart systems tailored to the demanding needs of producers from the edible oil, sauces and dressings, home and personal care key categories.

Delivering value to every stakeholder, from line managers and operators to maintenance teams, Sidel addresses complex requirements, delivering higher equipment, line availability and efficiency. Thanks to advanced engineering, comprehensive project management, top-class equipment and smart line services, Sidel provides a seamless experience that empowers customers to run their packaging lines with confidence and peace of mind.

Showcasing complete line expertise

Visitors will be invited to explore Sidel’s turnkey complete line solutions, designed to streamline operations and deliver seamless efficiency for the Beverage, Food, Home and Personal Care producers. Covering every stage from design through installation and ongoing support, these integrated systems maximise performance and minimise downtime, with expert teams tailoring each line to the specific needs of every customer.

Davide Sighinolfi, VP of Food, Home and Personal Care commented, “At Sidel, our complete line expertise is a key driver in helping customers across market categories such as edible oil, sauces and dressings and home care. Our deep experience in managing bottles of any material, shape or resistance enables us to deliver the performance, reliability and flexibility brand owners expect.”

“In addition to our overall PET expertise and ‘conversion to PET support’, Sidel continues to be a trusted partner across an extensive variety of categories. Whether cartons, tubes, or flexible pouches, we master packaging complexity through a top-class equipment portfolio enhanced by advanced smart technologies and user-focused, safe automation, ensuring consistent value and operational excellence for our customers.”

Driving higher productivity with next-generation equipment innovations

Sidel will present its complete line capabilities alongside technologies such as Cermex RoboSELEX and RoboAccess_Pal S. Together, these solutions illustrate how the company supports customers in achieving stable product flow, smooth changeovers and long-term production agility.

Following the successful launch of the Cermex ProSelex ® at Interpack 2023, Sidel will introduce its latest system, the Cermex RoboSELEX, which will make its premiere with live demonstrations at the booth during Interpack 2026.

The Cermex RoboSELEX is a state-of-the-art robotic collating system designed for case packers, offering flexibility and accumulation-free operation. This next-generation solution enables seamless handling of lightweight bottles in unlimited shapes and batch configurations, ensuring an ultra-smooth, continuous product flow without compromising high-speed performance (up to 320 products per minute).

The RoboSELEX builds on the strengths of the ProSelex solution by ensuring that containers are handled with complete integrity while also delivering the agility today’s Food, Home and Personal Care lines require. Its changeover process has been engineered for repeatability and speed, typically taking from as little as one minute for collation changes to two minutes for a different bottle format, so that operators can move between batches with minimal disruption. 

At the same time, the system’s streamlined mechanical design reduces the number of parts involved, which not only simplifies ingoing operation but also helps cut costs and shorten time-to-market when introducing new formats.

Enhancing end-of-line efficiency with agile palletising

Sidel will also showcase its compact, agile palletising unit, RoboAccess_Pal S. As a new feature, the machine displayed at the booth includes an elevating column, which enables the system to now reach pallet heights of up to 2200mm. 

The cell maintains its key characteristics, operating at speeds of up to 11 cycles per minute, while handling a payload capacity of up to 25kg with ease. Despite this capability, it remains compact, with a footprint designed to fit seamlessly into production spaces of less than 12m² for two stations and 8m² for a single pallet station.

This efficient layout supports quick installation and contributes to the system’s short payback time, making it an attractive choice for producers looking to stop manual palletising while seeking for both agility and return on investment. To further improve producers’ autonomy, the PalDesigner® pallet pattern management and creation tool is available from the machine HMI, giving users an intuitive way to build and adjust patterns without adding complexity and time. 

On stand, visitors can also explore Sidel’s latest aseptic innovations, including the Aseptic Predis X4™, showcased as part of complete aseptic line solutions designed for safe, efficient production. They can also discover the EvoBLOW Laser, a next generation blowing technology that demonstrates how Sidel is driving higher performance and sustainability at the core of PET bottle production.
