New Sidel Matrix™ Combi for San Miguel in the Dominican Republic

Sidel: Peruvian beverage producer achieves significant energy savings


Peruvian company Industrias San Miguel (ISM) currently has seven lines producing PET bottles, five of which are equipped with blow moulding machines supplied by Sidel. The most recent ISM installation is a Sidel Matrix™ Combi, bottling still water and flavoured water at a rate of 36,000 bottles per hour (bph) in the company's Dominican factory. The energy savings of around 8% achieved by the new line [1] are due to the greater efficiency of the integrated Sidel Matrix blower and the packaging lightweighting solutions proposed by Sidel.

A company focused on expansion and internationalisation

Industrias San Miguel produces soft drinks, fruit nectars and still water, all to the international standards ISO 9001, ISO 4001 and OHSAS 18001, demonstrating its clear commitment to high product quality and total respect for the environment.

Founded in 1988, when ISM’s original product, Kola Real, took the country by storm, the company strengthened its operations in January 2000, opening another soft drink manufacturing plant in Arequipa, Peru's second biggest city. International expansion began with the appointment of two distributors in Chile in 2002 and took off three years later with the opening of two manufacturing plants overseas: one in the Dominican Republic in 2005 and the second in Brazil in 2012.
