New Sidel service: Better spare parts management

With its new spare parts service, Sidel, one of the leading global providers of PET solutions for liquid packaging, is aiming to encourage a more proactive approach to inventory management of its high-quality original parts among its customers.

The new service is a combination of three new order types (Emergency, Stock Replenishment and Maintenance); four recommended lists of strategically critical parts (Emergencies, Maintenance, Overhaul and Uptime), tailored to fit different production conditions; and a comprehensive portfolio of parts covering the company’s entire portfolio of equipment, past and present. Sidel is encouraging beverage producers and bottlers, big and small, to plan ahead using the lists and order parts in advance. By doing so producers can reduce upfront costs, have the flexibility to better manage costs to meet demand, and avoid stoppages occurring without having critical replacement parts on site.

The company constantly reviews its portfolio in order to keep its parts up to date with the latest technologies and in line with the latest relevant standards and performance levels. It does so in order to ensure that it can supply customers with a full parts solution, regardless of the age of the equipment.

The new service is being offered by the company’s Spare Parts & Logistics team, part of the Sidel Services™ business unit. This unit is dedicated to providing a holistic approach to lowering total costs of ownership (TCO) and raising overall equipment efficiency (OEE) and productivity for the installed Sidel equipment of beverage producers worldwide.
