Austria’s SalzburgMilch to pioneer dairy market with SIG DomeMini carton bottle launch

SalzburgMilch, a premium dairy company in Austria, is pioneering the European dairy industry as it becomes the first company in Europe to launch products in SIG DomeMini, SIG’s unique on-the-go carton bottle. It combines the protective, environmental, and logistical benefits of a carton pack with the convenience of a bottle.

With SIG DomeMini, SalzburgMilch is offering a smart solution for on-the-go dairy products and exciting co-packing and private label opportunities for brands and retail partners. They benefit from SalzburgMilch’s central European location, which is ideal for logistics and distribution. The innovative packaging format will be available on European retail shelves from mid-2026. With its distinct presence and strong visual differentiation, SIG DomeMini will stand out from the crowd.

Andreas Gasteiger, CEO at SalzburgMilch, said, “SalzburgMilch stands for premium quality and innovation that’s rooted in Austrian tradition. Our close partnership with SIG allows us to pioneer this modern and convenient packaging solution for the European dairy industry and consumers, reflecting our strong commitment to excellence and innovation. We’re setting a new standard in convenient product experience, while also offering a packaging option with a high share of renewable materials.”

The numerous benefits of SIG DomeMini to consumers include convenient on-the-go consumption straight from the pack thanks to its large centrally positioned closure, and being easy to open, reclose and store. Designed for UHT products such as specialty milk and protein drinks, plant-based alternatives, meal replacements and many more, SIG DomeMini will offer a wide range of new product opportunities for the European food and beverage market.

The state-of-the-art SIG DomeMini 12 Aseptic filling machine is capable of aseptically filling 12,000 packages per hour – in a total of seven volume sizes from 180 to 350 ml on one and the same machine with volume change in just 15 minutes.

Nino Schmid, Key Account Manager Austria & Switzerland at SIG, said, “We’re proud that Austria continues to be a hub for innovation – and that SalzburgMilch is taking a pioneering role as the first company in Europe to adopt our unique packaging solution SIG DomeMini. We truly appreciate their forward-thinking approach and are confident that the eye-catching and convenient SIG DomeMini carton bottle will offer real added value to consumers with a unique combination of convenience, sustainability and shelf appeal.”
