SIG: Unpacking the Perfect Package at Gulfood Manufacturing  

This November, SIG will be ‘unpacking the Perfect Package’ at Gulfood Manufacturing, one of the largest and most important Food & Beverage trade shows for the Middle East, Africa & Asian countries, attracting over 32,000 visitors.

Smart Factory solutions

Part 1 of SIG’s Perfect Package is based on future-focused Industrial Internet of Things (IioT) technologies. The solutions presented at the booth will help manufacturers digitally transform their facilities to achieve higher levels of production efficiency and quality while optimizing overall processes and services. 

SIG will also disclose more about its partnership with IioT leader GE Digital at Gulfood Manufacturing, elevating the concepts of Industry 4.0 to the next level. 

Connected Pack solutions

Process optimisation and efficiency are key at today’s competitive business interface. As some of the food industry’s most progressive and performance driven specialists, SIG’s team understand the business challenges facing today’s food and beverage manufacturers: speed to market, health and safety, sustainability and differentiation on shelf.

As Martin Schmedes, Marketing & Strategy Director MEA of SIG said: “Our dedication to understanding customers’ needs goes beyond products and technology. We solve customers’ problems and offer new possibilities through an intelligent, holistic overview of their business needs. At the show we will highlight how SIG’s Perfect Package is helping our customers innovate differentiated products, build smarter filling plants and create interactive packs of the future.”

SIG is able to offer practical, results driven solutions to improve production KPI’s. For example, through using the Connected Pack, manufacturers can track and trace products throughout the value chain. Interactive layers can also be added to packs as part of digital promotional marketing campaigns, giving consumers greater product awareness and encouraging new purchasers to trial.

New purchasing power

Currently the largest demographic with purchasing power is that of Millennials and this is soon to be overtaken by Generation Z. The balance of purchasing power is changing and manufacturers need to keep pace with the latest innovation and sustainability demands.

Martin Schmedes: “These two groups are far more discerning and conscious about the content of products they consume and the environment. Fair trade, recycled, sustainable, GMO free are no longer buzz words but are fast becoming a prerequisite for consumers. Our market experts work closely with R&D to expand our portfolio of packaging systems to reflect these demands. Our packaging innovations on show at Gulfood Manufacturing underline our commitment to deliver responsible products without compromising on the need for unique design and convenience.” 

Additive manufacturing, remote servicing, smarter processing, augmented reality and more. The future of food production will be on show at Gulfood Manufacturing and SIG’s disruptive differentiation and value-adding solutions are helping food & beverage manufacturers to open up new opportunities for performing better and growing faster.

You can visit SIG at Hall number A1, Stand number 34/54.
