Sasib Beverage

What Sasib Beverage does

Sasib Beverage (legal entity: SASIB S.p.A.) is an Italian designer and manufacturer of automatic industrial machinery headquartered in Castel Maggiore, Bologna, Italy. Founded in 1915, the company specializes in medium-speed production lines and packaging machinery primarily for the tobacco industry — covering cigarette making (SMK series), filter tube manufacturing (SFT series), flowpack (SP2T), cartoning (SCA), and other tobacco-product (OTP) formats including cones, hemp pre-roll, and heat-not-burn extensions. Since 2011, Sasib has operated as a subsidiary of Coesia S.p.A., positioning it alongside sister brands G.D (high-speed tobacco lines), Molins, Cerulean, and Comas within a diversified industrial packaging machinery group with global distribution through G.D's 14 international subsidiaries and five production sites.

The company's revenue model is built on capital equipment sales (multi-million-Euro production lines) supplemented by aftermarket service, spare parts, format-changeover retrofits, and technical training delivered through dedicated Technical Service Centers staffed by specialized instructors. Sasib holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications and serves a B2B customer base of global tobacco converters and OEMs. In 2024 the company deliberately expanded beyond tobacco with the launch of the STE cartoning machine for consumer electronics and the S-BOX cartoning machine for e-commerce packaging, followed by the February 2025 Cones Making and Packing Line and the announcement of Innovative Cartoning Technologies in March 2026. Headcount is reported at 51–100 employees, and the company is privately held with no public revenue disclosure.
