19 Aug 2021 --- SIG has revealed that its second state-of-the-art production plant for aseptic carton packaging in China is now up and running. The Swiss aseptic systems and solutions provider has identified Asia Pacific as a major growth region for food and beverage carton packaging. “Across Asia, millions of people are only now starting to consume packaged food and beverages. The rise of new consumers, driven by increasing income, changing lifestyles and new consumption habits, represents a huge opportunity for aseptic carton packaging with its long shelf life without the need of a cooling chain,” SIG CEO Samuel Sigrist tells PackagingInsights.
