In addition, SIG’s regional Product Innovation & Application Hub in Dubai won the UAE Industrial Excellence Award for its contribution to local manufacturing capabilities and the competitiveness of the UAE food industry. Opened in 2021, the hub allows customers to develop recipes, test products and produce small trial batches in aseptic cartons and spouted pouches.

At the fair, SIG also presented six new ready-to-drink concepts covering functional nutrition, protein-rich drinks, hydration and indulgent flavours.

“A filling line gives producers capacity, but innovation is what allows them to bring market-ready products to market,” said Abdelghany Eladib, President and General Manager India, Middle East and Africa at SIG.

In 2025, SIG produced around 54 billion packs and generated revenue of €3.2 billion.
