In the Middle-East and the UAE, the soft drink and bottled water markets are projected to grow by five to six per cent in the coming five years, according to Euromonitor. To meet this growing demand, OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) are designing turnkey high-speed lines. Turnkey should not mean one supplier for all equipments. Customers still have the choice to benefit from expert suppliers understanding their specific needs and offering adapted solutions.
Success on high-speed lines requires a focus on maximum output - ensure specific commitment on hygiene, food safety and avoid stoppages due, for instance, to improper capping or labelling.
When it comes to producing with higher sustainability level too, saving water, avoiding chemicals, reducing packaging material weight, The Experts are one step ahead of the OEMs, who cannot invest in all technologies simultaneously.

All offer the best available technologies in their field for high-speed filling lines. On The Experts’ booth they will present their expertise and solutions.
