Looking to the past to preserve traditions! Looking to the future in a more sustainable way!

These are constant thoughts in the daily activities of companies, which, by embracing the traditions of the past, continue to invest, and grow to look towards the future, prioritizing excellence, quality, and well-being.

These themes provide the backdrop for the case histories in the new issue of SMI NOW, where we tell the stories of companies that have achieved significant milestones but do not stop and continue to invest to ensure the future well-being of their customers and preserve the environment in which we live.

Radnor Hills

In the United Kingdom, Radnor Hills has been innovating and diversifying the production of water and beverages for 35 years, paying great attention to sustainable packaging made from a wide range of machines supplied by SMI since 2008 and from the recent installations of a WP 800 ERGON case packer for packaging in kraft cardboard boxes and an ASW 40 F ERGON shrinkwrapper with a 90° infeed.

Holderhof Produkte

In Switzerland, Holderhof Produkte, a leading food company in the production of fruit juices, three years after the launch of the aseptic line supplied by SMI, is investing again in state-of-the-art technologies; it has recently purchased a LWP 30 ERGON wrap-around case packer and two APS 620 ERGON palletizers to meet production needs for its own brand and for "private labels".

Água Pedra Azul

In Brazil, Água Pedra Azul has been bottling pure and uncontaminated spring water that flows near the mountain of the same name for over 30 years. To preserve the precious water source and ensure the well-being of consumers, the company invests in modern technologies such as the SMI EBS 10 KL ERGON stretch-blow moulder.

Latteria Soresina

In Italy, Latteria Soresina, the largest national cooperative in dairy production, celebrated the important milestone of 125 years of activity in 2025; a milestone that is also a starting point for further future developments aimed at greater production capacity and lower environmental impact thanks to the installation of a new SMI EBS 6 KL ERGON stretch-blow moulding machine.

SMI label-free containers

Installing a rotary stretch-blow moulder from SMI within the production facilities, equipped with special moulds to produce label-free PET and rPET containers at the output of  2,750 bph/cavity, is proof that innovation can be simple.
