"In the Indian packaging market, PET is outperforming other packaging products due to the increase in the usage of water and carbonated drinks by 10-25%, said Laurent Fournier, country director and managing director of Sidel India. "Clearly, the stage is set for Sidel to take charge of a new era in the Indian packaging industry," added Fournier.

Sidel, a part of the Tetra-Laval group, opened its facility at Chakan in Pune in 2001 to cater to the growing Indian reception for PET packaging. From then, the company is into manufacturing of low speed filling lines with blowers, Synergy. The approximate production capacity in India achieved by the company is 200 units per year.
