SIPA HISTORY

1980 – SIPA is founded as an engineering company to provide integrated system for flexible automation.1986 - SIPA makes a strategic move produce PET packaging and acquired the technology license to produce

PET bottles based on 1-step process.1988 – SIPA sells its first PET 1–step machine for 4000b/h for mineral water bottles.1989 – A new range of small linear blowing machines is designed, the SF line, and added to 1-step range, the ECS.

First blowing machine sold for 1400 b/h.1990 – SIPA sells first PET 1–step machine for 8000 b/h.1994 – The linear blowing machine increase to 4000 b/h. First machine installed to Coca –Cola.1995 – PET 1–step machine reaches 12000 b/h. SIPA machine can now produce also aseptic bottles for juices and isotonic.1996 – SIP receives ISO 9001 certification. PET 1– step machine reaches 18000 b/h.

First injection machines to produce PET performs.1997 - PET 1– step machine reaches 24000 b/h and linear blowers 12000b / h. First 1-step machine sold to produce heat set,

pasteurizable bottles and wide mouth jars.1998 – A new market segment is opened: fresh milk in PET. 1–step system producing up to 5 liter size bottles and high quality

containers for house holding thanks to an extremely performing preferential heating.1999 – High productivity rotary blowing machine.2000 – New perform injection machine with 48 cavities.2001 – SIPA range of rotary blowers includes five models from 12000 b/h – 40000 b/ h.2003 – New perform injection machine with 72 cavities.2006 – Installation of the first SIPA industrial Coating to enhance PET barrier properties of non–alcoholic beer bottles.

SMARTCOAT is an external coating process line with a high productivity capacity.2007 – New Preform Production Machine for the production of special performs.2008 – SIPA acquires Berchi Group, a manufacturer of complete bottling and packaging lines.2009 – SINCRO – TRIBLOC, a revolutionary product was added to SIPA wide range; an innovative system that incorporates

the production of labeling and filling / capping of PET containers.
