Libyan United Beverage Bottling Company expands portfolio with four additional state-of-the-art aseptic carton filling lines from SIG

Libyan United Beverage Bottling Company (LUBBC), a leading force in the Libyan beverage market, is expanding the strategic partnership with SIG. The collaboration is set to boost LUBBC's production capabilities, increase local market volumes, and enhance export opportunities, while also consolidating SIG's position in the region.

 

Under this agreement, SIG will deliver four additional filling lines for aseptic carton packs to LUBBC, including a SIG Midi 12 Aseptic, two SIG XSlim 24 Aseptic, and a SIG Mini 24 Aseptic. These filling lines will support LUBBC’s expansion plans and meet the growing demand for safe, high-quality beverages in Libya. The company already has two SIG filling lines for aseptic carton packs in operation and uses them to successfully fill its Safi brand beverages.

 

 

Hamza Abubrig, CEO of LUBBC, commented: “We are very proud to choose SIG as our trusted partner. SIG is developing the solutions and technologies needed to help ensure access to safe non-carbonated soft drinks (NCSD) and liquid dairy (LD) products for people all over the world. The success of the Safi brand in Libya over the past few months has been remarkable, thanks to the cooperation between the SIG and LUBBC teams. We are excited to build on this partnership and continue our growth journey together.”

 

 

This strategic partnership signifies an advancement for LUBBC, driving both local growth and international competitiveness through cutting-edge packaging technology.

 

 

Mohamed Eljamal, Libya Country Manager at SIG, added: “This partnership is a key step towards expanding our presence and strengthening our market position in the region. We are delighted seeing more and more customers in Libya growing with our industry-leading solutions.”
