Technology
Sidel expands labelling technology offering
Sidel acquired Makro Labelling in 2023 to expand its offering in state-of-the-art labelling technologies. Makro’s modular labelling machines can label up to five items per bottle with high precision in cold glue, hot glue, self-adhesive and combination versions. The technologies enhance Sidel’s offering of advanced labelling solutions and broaden the company’s reach into dynamic markets such as wine, spirits, food, home and personal care.
“The low and medium-speed modular labelling machines made by Makro complement our leading higher-speed technologies that are manufactured at our factory in Mantova, Italy and integrated into Sidel’s packaging lines,” said Monica Gimre, President & CEO at Sidel.
Makro maintains its full autonomy as a unit of the Sidel Group and continues to operate independently.
Makro Labelling has grown rapidly since it was founded in 2009, with more than 140 people currently working at its facility in Goito, northern Italy.
