SIG Combibloc wins the<br />
German packaging prize<br />
SIG Combibloc has been awarded the German Packaging Prize 2003 for its machine concept<br />
for the combishape packaging system. This award from the German Packaging Institute or<br />
Deutsches Verpackungsinstitut e.V. (DVI) honours exceptional achievements and developments<br />
that lead exemplary and pioneering routes through today’s packaging jungle.<br />
The official presentation of the prize<br />
for the distinguished CSA F10, a filling machine<br />
for varied shapes of aseptic beverage<br />
cartons, took place on 7 October 2003<br />
during the FachPack, a specialist trade fair<br />
for packaging and marking technology in<br />
Nuremberg. Winning the German Packaging<br />
Prize has automatically qualified SIG<br />
Combibloc for participation in the international<br />
packaging competition WorldStar,<br />
which is organised by the World Packaging<br />
Organisation.<br />

“The machine concept for the combishape<br />
is distinguished by its great flexibility<br />
with regard to form and format, with up to<br />
42 different shapes. The uniform operating<br />
concept along the production line (filling<br />
machine/final packaging), the flexible shaping<br />
and sealing-in of large pouring openings<br />
make the machine concept an innovative<br />
and clear system”, were the reasons for the<br />
jury’s decision. The jury was made up of impartial<br />
experts who assessed a total of 158<br />
applications in the following five categories:<br />

Heinz Knuppertz and Helmut Unterweger<br />
(second and third from the left), Project<br />
Management combishape, have every reason<br />
to be happy.<br />
Right: “Innovative and clear cut”, so the judgement<br />
from the jury of the German Packaging Prize<br />
competition about SIG Combibloc's combishape<br />
CSA F10.<br />
sales packaging, transport packaging, display<br />
packaging, machine concepts and prototypes.<br />
“This award of the German Packaging<br />
Prize for 2003 is fantastic proof for us that<br />
with the combishape, we have developed a<br />
concept that opens up entirely new possibilities<br />
to filling companies in the beverage<br />
market”, say Helmut Unterweger and Heinz<br />
Knuppertz proudly. They are the project<br />
managers for combishape at SIG Combibloc.<br />
“This means that we are in keeping with the<br />
trend towards greater differentiation”.
