Sidel is set to make a high-impact debut at the 52nd Dairy Industry Conference and Exhibition 2026; showcasing how its cutting-edge Aseptic Combi Predis™ and advanced digital quality control platform, Qual-IS™, are shaping the future of India’s fast evolving dairy sector.
India remains not only the world’s largest dairy producer, but one of its most rapidly changing, too. Rising awareness for health, accelerating urbanisation and a surge in demand for functional dairy beverages are currently reshaping the market. From high protein drinks to probiotic formulations and low sugar options, consumers increasingly expect convenient, nutritious products with extended shelf lives.
Sidel will demonstrate how its pioneering aseptic portfolio directly responds to these needs. With more than 53 years of global expertise and over 400 aseptic systems installed worldwide, Sidel brings a proven, future‑ready toolkit to dairy manufacturers across the region of South Asia.
Said Harbinder Kathuria, Vice President South Asia: “As demand surges for safer, longer‑lasting and value‑added dairy products across the region, Sidel will demonstrate how its aseptic technologies are helping producers raise food‑safety standards, unlock new growth opportunities and deliver the next generation of dairy beverages with greater efficiency, reliability and confidence with highest safety.”
A key focus of Sidel’s presence at the event is the Aseptic Combi Predis™, the company’s flagship integrated blow–fill–cap solution. Its dry preform sterilisation technology delivers powerful food‑safety performance while significantly lowering resource use.
By sterilising packaging at the preform stage, the system minimises contamination risk, streamlines production and supports uninterrupted operation. It removes the need for empty‑bottle handling and storage, boosts overall efficiency and advances sustainability goals through reduced water and chemical consumption. The technology also extends shelf life, enabling producers to distribute products more widely while maintaining freshness.
As the latest evolution of the Aseptic Combi Predis™ range, the Aseptic Predis X4™ is a flexible, high-performance packaging solution that further advances aseptic technology through its enhanced design and digitalisation capabilities.
Sidel has also recently introduced Qual-IS™, a digital quality‑control platform designed to support the growing needs of India’s aseptic dairy and beverage producers. The system centralises key quality functions such as sampling plans, laboratory management, traceability, HACCP oversight, calibration records and overall quality status into one accessible interface across mobile devices, desktop and production‑line human-machine interfaces.
For companies entering the aseptic market, Qual-IS™ provides an intuitive way to manage the shift with confidence, while established producers gain a real‑time, consistent method to oversee multiple sites and streamline decision‑making. By strengthening quality control and food‑safety practices, Qual IS™ helps manufacturers keep pace with India’s rapidly expanding demand for safe, nutritious, long‑shelf‑life drinks while protecting product integrity as they scale.
