Siapi

What Siapi does

SIAPI s.r.l. is an Italian designer and manufacturer of two-stage linear stretch blow molding machines for PET containers, founded in 1992 and headquartered in San Vendemiano (Treviso), Italy, with a US sales office in Vernon Hills, Illinois. The company produces six core machine platforms covering container sizes from 0.25L to 40L: the SX series for large containers, S2/S2M for standard sizes, SC for compact production, SE for high-speed output up to 15,000 bottles per hour, SW for wide-mouth containers up to 180mm neck diameter, and the Galileo series reaching 25,000 bottles per hour through patented progressive preform feeding. Its technology stack includes nine proprietary modules — AIR infrared heating, ARS air recovery (up to 50% air savings), PSB pre-stretch booster, SUPERTRACK transport, HandleMatic, Deep Bottom stackable design, Heat Set hot-fill, Preferential Heating, and Neck Orientation — all engineered and built in-house in Italy.

SIAPI's business model is centered on capital equipment sales (hardware) complemented by integrated mold/tooling production, prototyping, spare parts, and recurring aftermarket services including teleservice, on-site engineering, scheduled maintenance, and machine revamping. Revenue derives from enterprise sales to manufacturers in beverage (water, CSD, beer PET kegs, wine), food (edible oils, dairy, juices, pet food), and non-food (chemicals, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals) end markets, with 85% of revenue from international exports and over 950 machines installed across five continents. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales with a global network of exclusive agents and service centers, supported by participation in major international tradeshows. Since 2019, SIAPI has operated as a subsidiary of CFT Group within the ATS Corporation (TSX: ATS, NYSE: ATS) Packaging, Food & Technology division, enabling bundled offerings with CFT, Co.Mac, and ROLEC for integrated beverage lines.
