Actron expands its services into co-packing in the Philippines with SIG’s flexible aseptic carton filling technology

In response to rising demand for ready-to-drink beverages and dairy products in the Philippines, Actron Industries, Inc., a leading Philippine food solutions company, is expanding its packaging portfolio with advanced aseptic carton filling technology from SIG. Actron will install a state-of-the-art SIG Midi 12 Aseptic filling line at its plant in Calamba, Laguna. Commercial production is scheduled to begin at the end of the second quarter of 2026.  

Once operational, the SIG Midi 12 Aseptic will allow Actron to aseptically fill a broad range of products for its customers on a single high-performance system. These include ready-to-drink juices, teas, dairy beverages, cooking creams and all-purpose cream, supporting brand owners seeking greater flexibility and efficiency in their co-packing supply chain. By expanding its packaging portfolio and technology, Actron can help local brands innovate with new product categories and packaging formats more quickly. 

The SIG Midi 12 Aseptic is capable of filling up to 12,000 aseptic cartons per hour. It delivers format flexibility to fill both SIG MidiBloc and SIG MidiFit on the same filling line, as well as volume flexibility (500ml, 750ml, and 1,000ml) with quick changeovers done in minutes. This allows contract manufacturers to adapt quickly to new market and customer needs and support beverage manufacturers and brand owners with fast product launches in a variety of formats without compromising on speed and output. 

Noer Wellington, Commercial Director for Southeast Asia, Japan and Korea at SIG, commented: “This partnership brings our flexible aseptic filling technology closer to the Philippines' dairy and juice industry. Enabled by our packaging system, Actron can support local manufacturers respond to evolving consumer preferences with advanced packaging solutions that enable faster innovation and scalable growth.”  

Actron Industries, Inc. is a Filipino food solutions company with over 40 years of experience in food ingredient trading, product development, and manufacturing. Actron provides outsourcing services for fast-moving consumer goods, including powder and beverages. 

Mannito C. Dueñas, EVP Commercial Operations at Actron Industries, Inc., added: “This investment reinforces Actron’s position as a leading co-packing partner in the Philippines. By incorporating SIG’s flexible filling system, we can offer greater scale, agility, and value to brand owners looking to innovate.“ 

Nicolas Tan, Head of Market for Malaysia, Vietnam and Philippines at SIG, concluded: “This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to accelerating innovation and operational flexibility for local food and beverage brands. We see growing appetite in the region for more agile, scalable packaging systems, especially from emerging brands looking to test and launch quickly.“
