UHT Milk in PET Bottles

Milk specialist Inex from Belgium has switched from carton to PET in packaging for part of its production. It has opted for an aseptic PET packaging line from Sidel: It is designed to help meet a growing demand for locally produced milk.

Belgium-based Inex specializes in supplying high-quality milk. The company produces a variety of dairy products, including fresh and UHT milk, dairy drinks, cream and other dairy products. The company exports around 50 percent of its production to neighboring countries. The milk comes exclusively from local Belgian farmers with whom Inex has established long-term relationships. Inex produces private labels for leading retailers, but also products under its own name.

A new aseptic line for packaging UHT milk in PET bottles will help increase production capacity and improve the carbon footprint.
