Autopack and SIDE set sights on blow moulded packaging

partner for SIDE. We are committed to growing our respective businesses by tapping into new markets.
“ The partnership is an opportunity to expand our portfolio. Our target market are medium range customers demanding the highest quality blow moulding machines, so whether you require large 50 litre water tanks or 250ml oil bottles, we have the versatility and performance to elevate your production capabilities.”
Leading independent integrator of packaging lines Autopack has been appointed UK and Ireland distribution partner to SIDE, which manufacturers PET blow moulding machinery. The move opens new markets to both Autopack and SIDE with particular focus on enabling the onsite production of PET bottles and containers using fast, cost-effective, advanced technology.
Based in Barcelona, Spain, SIDE has over 50 years’ experience of creating
custom-made plastic container blowers for wide range of food and beverages applications. With its headquarters in Hereford, Autopack is a leading independent supplier of packaging and processing machinery to the food, drink, chemical, cleaning and personal care sectors.
Jonathon Stewart, Sales Director at Autopack, said:“ Our expertise in providing integrated and tailored packaging solutions make us the ideal
Blow moulders are increasingly popular for PET bottles and containers. The ability to produce these in-situ as an integral part of the production line offers significant cost and environmental benefits to manufacturers. Pre-formed empty bottles no longer need shipping or storing avoiding the complex and costly logistical challenges for packing a wide range of goods.
Jonathon Stewart added:“ Our success is as a trusted partner, delivering precision in engineering and project delivery. We are looking forward to building a very special relationship with SIDE and making a difference to our customer base.”
