DenEast installs aseptic line in Vietnam

DenEast has broken ground on its new aseptic nutrition beverage plant in Ho Chi Minh City, where a complete aseptic PET line by Sidel will be installed.

DenEast is a contract manufacturing service provider, offering aseptic beverage solutions with a 360-degree service proposition to brand owners in Vietnam and across Southeast Asia. Its capabilities include multiproduct manufacturing, innovative packaging, raw material sourcing, warehousing, beverage processing, research and development, and vendor managed inventory. DenEast’s facility, located 45 km outside Ho Chi Minh City, produces up to one million litres of beverages per week.

DenEast’s new full production line, features Sidel’s Aseptic Combi Predis, which is designed to meet FDA standards, meeting customer requirements and ensuring product quality and safety. Flexibility is a key feature of the line, allowing for multipack packaging in both cartons and shrink film to cater to various retail channels. This adaptability ensures that products can reach different market segments.

Sidel’s local presence in Vietnam played a crucial role in the selection of this solution, relying on essential technical assistance and maintenance, and ensuring optimal operational efficiency.

The production line will accommodate a range of sizes from 150ml to 1500ml, supporting a wide range of nutritional dairy and plant based products.
Globally, PET-packaged sensitive beverages are expanding, with nutrition products, plant-based drinks, milk, and flavoured milk all showing steady growth. As beverage trends evolve, the increasing demand for diverse packaging solutions presents opportunities for brands in the Southeast Asia Pacific (SEAP) region.

Looking to tap into these market trends, Johan Boden, CEO at DenEast comments: “We’re innovators at our core, continuously seeking solutions to diversify our manufacturing capabilities and explore new business opportunities, reinforcing our commitment to growth and industry leadership. In order to meet growing demands for healthy nutrition products in Vietnam and across the SEAP region, we decided to invest in a new complete aseptic processing and PET packaging line from Sidel.”
