Two complete PET lines were installed in the Al Kharj facility of this Saudi Arabian beverage producer. Since high speed and reliability coupled with great product quality were among the top requirements from this customer, Sidel was deemed a most suitable machine supplier for the job.

Since its founding in 1977, Almarai has grown via strategic investments, becoming the largest producer and distributor of food and drink in the Middle East with a market capitalization exceeding $12.5 billion.

When Almarai recently reached out to Sidel, they needed to increase the production capacity around the single-serve format of orange juice (200-mL) bottled in PET and handled under cold chain distribution. As the leading position in the juice market, Almarai decided to install two new Sidel PET complete lines, each one handling 54,000 bottles/hr, in the Al Kharj central processing plant (CPP).
