After last year’s successes, the 2019 edition of the Spirits Strategies & Innovation Congress also proved to be an outstanding training and information opportunity for everything revolving around the alcoholic beverage industry.

Strategy and innovation came together to perfection, offering an overview of what the areas of growth in the coming years are thought to be. The key themes at the event included the trends expected in the near future, such as premiumization, craftsmanship, the relationship between off- and on-trade, distribution and the role of retailers in marketing products.

Over the two days, there were a series of engaging sessions such as interviews on stage, live debates and interesting keynote speeches, but we also had the chance to meet innovative and niche spirits producers. Top quality is the focus keyword of this event, at which we are participating with an information desk and a speech, The 3R paradigm in the beverage packaging industry: applications, strategies and myths, held yesterday by Tapì Group Chief Product Officer, Domenico Liberati.

In the last twenty years, here at Tapì we have come a long way in our search for innovative and more eco-sustainable materials for our closures. This philosophy of ours not only impacts the products we supply to our customers, but aims to be truly a part of a sea change currently taking place in the packaging industry, and in the world as a whole.

From ceramics, widely used in the Signature range, all the way through to the Abor concept, which creates closures with spent lees from the distillation process instead of disposing of them in the usual way, not forgetting Duo, a closure designed to help the end user with the recycling process, or Mekano, a mechanical closure that can be used to open and re-close bottles on a continual basis. But that’s not all: our R&D department is implementing new sustainable projects, following in the footsteps of Abor, focusing especially on the ethical side, but also on communications.

Indeed, using an ecological closure to seal a packaging can be a great marketing lever. Several studies have shown that end users are willing to spend more if they share the values of the company they are buying from. So why not take advantage of this current growing trend to leverage your consumer niche while also doing the environment a favour?

Starlight Mix is the pourer cap developed by Tapì, designed specifically for the condiments sector. Sealing, especially in a world as delicate as that of olive oil or fine vinegars, ensures the end customer can enjoy a product in perfect condition.

The cutting-edge ultrasonic welding technology used to make Starlight Mix cuts out the use of glue, which helps to ensure the quality of the liquid inside is maintained. Moreover, the huge potential for customization enables us to create shades similar to those of olive oil, achieving very much the same visual effect.

Creative combinations, nuances and brightness: these are the advantages of the Starlight Mix pourer. The ideal touch of style for the bottle that desires no other seal.

After almost 30 years, SIMEI is still the leading fair for everything that is wine, as well as for the packaging world dedicated to the spirits and condiments sectors.

For this reason, from November 19th to 22nd Tapì will also be there as exhibitors, at what can without doubt be regarded as a world-class event for all those working in the above-mentioned sectors.

SIMEI is comprehensively renewing itself to become a truly global fair of wine-making technologies, products and accessories. From the substantial numbers of operators and producers from all five continents, to new partnerships with trade associations and key institutions such as the Italian Ministry of Economic Development, ICE-Agency, SIMEST and Fiera Milano, opening the doors even more to wine-related commodity chains such as olive oil, beer and spirits, we are working on an exhibition that marks a turning point in the history of SIMEI. Numerous top exhibitors have already booked their places at the 2019 edition, confirming SIMEI’s international leadership and providing further evidence that the choice to renew was the right one.

These words from SIMEI president Ernesto Abbona underline why we at Tapì are looking forward to taking part in what promises to be the most innovative edition ever. See you at stand 15E21-F22 for a key innovation!
