SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 15, 2026 -- Sidel will exhibit at Fispal Tecnologia 2026 in São Paulo from June 16 to 19, presenting packaging line innovations tailored to the Latin American food and beverage market. The company's stand K104 at São Paulo Expo will feature live demonstrations of palletising robotics, laser-blown PET bottle technology, and its cloud-based line performance suite. The exhibit reflects more than three decades of Sidel's operational presence in Brazil, where FMCG manufacturers face accelerating pressure to integrate recycled materials without sacrificing throughput.
Sidel Targets Latin American rPET Transition with Applied Line Solutions
rPET adoption is moving quickly across Latin America, and Sidel's Fispal presence is built around that shift. The company will show visitors how to move from packaging design to industrial execution using rPET and lightweight PET formats — covering the full implementation arc, not just materials selection. That distinction matters for production managers making capital decisions in markets where supply chain and regulatory conditions for recycled content are still evolving.
Sidel's approach embeds sustainability at the line level rather than treating it as a separate compliance layer. Lightweight PET bottle designs, reduced water consumption, and lower utility draw are engineered into equipment rather than added after the fact.
EvoBLOW Laser, Swing EVO, and Aseptic Predis X4™ Highlight Equipment Range
Three pieces of equipment anchor the innovation showcase. EvoBLOW Laser represents Sidel's laser-blown PET bottle capability — a process that affects both material efficiency and container performance. Swing EVO and Aseptic Predis X4™ round out the display, with the aseptic unit addressing hygiene-critical segments in food and beverage where contamination risk governs line design choices.
Together the three systems are positioned to reduce line complexity while improving flexibility across different container formats and production runs. That combination — simpler operations, broader format range — directly addresses what mid-to-large FMCG producers in the region are asking for.
RoboAccess_Pal S Demonstrates Compact Palletising for Constrained Production Floors
The live demonstration centrepiece is RoboAccess_Pal S, Sidel's compact palletising unit combining robotics and cobotics. It operates at up to 12 cycles per minute and handles case payloads of up to 25kg. Its footprint runs to less than 12m² for two stations. Pallet height reaches up to 1,700mm. Those numbers matter on production floors where space is genuinely constrained.
Sidel positions the unit for food, home care, and personal care applications, and highlights a return on investment timeline of one to two years. The system handles a broad range of primary and secondary packaging formats — bottles, jars, cans, tins, flexible packaging, cartons, RSCs, wrap-around, and shelf-ready packaging — which reduces the need for separate handling equipment across product lines.
Evo-ON® Cloud Suite Converts Raw Equipment Data into Line Performance Decisions
Beyond hardware, Sidel will present Evo-ON®, its cloud-based production intelligence suite. The platform collects, aggregates, and analyses equipment data continuously to generate real-time alerts, proactive notifications, and customisable dashboards and reports. It draws on raw data that would otherwise go unused inside the equipment itself.
For operations teams, the practical output is better visibility into line behaviour before problems escalate into downtime. Supervisors get a consolidated view across line assets rather than managing each machine in isolation.
36 Years of Brazil Market Presence Underpins Regional Credibility
Sidel has operated in Brazil for over 36 years, a tenure that informs both its product configuration choices and its commercial relationships in the region. Marcelo Sobrero, Sidel's Country Director for Brazil and Sales Director of South America, addressed the company's positioning directly: "With decades of experience supporting food and beverage manufacturers across Latin America, Sidel continues to combine local market knowledge with packaging line expertise and continuous innovation, helping customers transform line complexity into sustainable, long-term performance gains."
That local depth is relevant context for FMCG buyers evaluating suppliers for long-cycle capital investments. Equipment decisions in packaging lines typically involve multi-year support commitments. A supplier with established regional infrastructure is a different proposition than one entering the market.
