Sidel welcomes visitors to BrauBeviale 2026 with a comprehensive portfolio of innovative solutions, designed specifically to help beverage producers improve their performance, enhance sustainability and futureproof operations. At the heart of the global company’s presence is its unique ability to deliver complete turnkey packaging lines across can, glass and PET – which is supported by its industry-leading technologies in aseptic packaging, PET heating, pasteurisation and bottle washing. 

“Today’s beverage producers are looking for partners who can support the entire packaging journey, while helping them improve efficiency, flexibility and reach ambitious sustainability targets,” says Guillaume Rolland, Vice-President of Beverage Sales for Europe and Central Asia at Sidel. “At BrauBeviale, we are demonstrating how Sidel combines complete line expertise with breakthrough technologies that enable manufacturers to stay competitive while preparing for the future.” 

Complete turnkey expertise across can, glass and PET

Sidel offers complete turnkey solutions covering can, glass and PET packaging formats, offering robust bottle reuse capabilities for glass and PET applications. The company brings together engineering expertise, equipment innovation and line integration capabilities to design and optimise entire production lines tailored to the specific needs of breweries, soft drink producers, water bottlers and other beverage manufacturers. 

Visitors will discover how Sidel's comprehensive approach simplifies project execution while maximising line performance, product quality and operational efficiency. Whether customers are investing in new production capacity, modernising existing facilities or diversifying packaging formats, Sidel provides a single partner capable of managing every phase of the project lifecycle.

Leading the aseptic PET market with Aseptic Predis® X4

At BrauBeviale, visitors will learn how beverage producers around the world are leveraging Sidel's latest generation of dry aseptic technology, Aseptic Predis X4, to reduce their environmental footprint while improving overall equipment effectiveness and production reliability. Recognised as one of the industry's most advanced aseptic PET solutions, Aseptic Predis X4 enables producers to benefit from enhanced operational simplicity, reduced utilities consumption and greater production flexibility.  

The solution also supports lightweight packaging strategies while maintaining product integrity and shelf life. The proven concept of dry preform sterilisation before blowing integrated directly inside the blower remains unchanged and is specifically designed for sensitive beverages such as juices, teas, isotonic drinks, dairy-based products and other low-acid applications. By eliminating the need for bottle rinsing and significantly reducing water and chemical consumption, the technology helps manufacturers achieve the highest food safety standards while supporting ambitious sustainability goals. 

Revolutionising PET production with laser heating technology

Sidel will also showcase its pioneering laser oven technology, a revolutionary alternative to conventional infrared heating systems used in PET bottle production. This unique innovation transforms how PET preforms are heated before blowing by using laser energy to deliver highly precise and uniform heating. 

The technology enables significant energy savings while improving process control and bottle quality consistency. The precise heating process contributes to greater flexibility in bottle design and supports the use of challenging materials, including high levels of recycled PET. As sustainability and energy efficiency become increasingly critical priorities for manufacturers, laser heating represents a major step forward in PET packaging production and demonstrates Sidel's ongoing commitment to innovation.

Advancing sustainable processing with SWING™ Evo and Hydra Ultrasonic

Sidel's processing expertise will also be highlighted through two breakthrough technologies designed to reduce resource consumption while enhancing operational performance and product quality. 

The SWING™ Evo pasteuriser represents the latest evolution in tunnel pasteurisation. Developed to meet the needs of breweries and beverage producers seeking greater efficiency, the system optimises water, energy and chemical usage while ensuring consistent product quality and food safety. Its advanced design combines high operational flexibility with reduced total cost of ownership, helping manufacturers improve both productivity and sustainability. 

Complementing this innovation, Sidel will present the Hydra Ultrasonic bottle washer, a next-generation solution for returnable glass and refillable PET bottles. Using advanced ultrasonic technology, the system achieves highly effective bottle cleaning while significantly reducing water, energy and chemical consumption compared with traditional washing approaches.
