In a bid to revolutionize the Greek market and champion eco-friendly innovation, Nera Kritis S.A., a prominent water bottling and preform/bottles producer, has partnered with SIPA to introduce the lightest preform available in Greece.
With a legacy spanning over three decades, Nera Kritis boasts extensive expertise in water bottling and preform production. Operating across three bottling facilities in Chania (Crete Island), Axioupoli (North Greece), Loutraki (Central Greece), and a cutting-edge packaging materials facility in Thiva, the company has consistently aimed at introducing distinctive, environmentally conscious products to the market.
Stepping boldly into 2023, Nera Kritis embarked on a pioneering venture, investing in SIPA's XFROM SYSTEM GEN4 72 cavities.

SIPA's cutting-edge system not only facilitates the production of lightweight preforms but also aligns seamlessly with Nera Kritis' vision of sustainability. By incorporating these lightweight preforms, the company aims to significantly decrease the environmental impact of its packaging, reflecting a resolute commitment to a greener future.
