Let's talk about your opportunities

Sweet protein. Less sugar

SIG and Oobli have formed a strategic partnership to showcase integrated, reduced-sugar beverage

concepts to market. By combining Oobli’s sweet protein technology with SIG’s advanced aseptic

filling expertise and diverse packaging options, the collaboration aims to deliver long shelf-life

beverages that taste delicious and don’t require refrigeration.

Micro algae protein

SIG and Nutrition from Water (NXW) have announced a global partnership to develop integrated product concepts that combine algae-based protein beverages with advanced aseptic packaging. The initiative is designed to help close the nutrition gap in rapidly

growing economies, delivering protein-rich nutrition to communities where it is needed most.

Long-life probiotics

SIG and AnaBio Technologies jointly presented the first global launch of a long-life probiotic yogurt – a major breakthrough for probiotic beverages and aseptic packaging. This game changing development creates a new product category; probiotic beverages packed in aseptic carton packs and spouted pouches which are shelf-stable for prolonged storage periods without refrigeration.
