The goal is to produce shelf-stable drinks that do not require refrigeration.<\/p>\n

The partnership leverages Oobli\u2019s use of plant-based proteins to replace sugar, which allows for products with lower sugar content without altering taste.<\/p>\n

This approach aims to address the increasing consumer focus on healthier beverage ingredients.<\/p>\n

SIG brings its capability in aseptic packaging, enabling products to remain stable at room temperature and free from preservatives.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s technology supports distribution without refrigeration, potentially easing logistical challenges in supply chains.<\/p>\n

Oobli CEO Ali Wing said:\u202f\u201cToday\u2019s consumers expect beverages that deliver both taste and health benefits. Our collaboration with SIG couples sweet-protein technology with proven filling and packaging capabilities, supporting the launch of reduced-sugar beverages that can reach consumers across price tiers and channels.\u201d<\/p>\n

The collaboration also includes access to various packaging formats and the support of SIG\u2019s global innovation centres for product development and testing.<\/p>\n

Both companies are working together on pilot projects, product trials, and consumer testing to ensure the new beverages meet expectations for taste, shelf life, and market appeal.<\/p>\n

This partnership was initiated at MISTA, a food innovation platform in San Francisco, where both companies are members.<\/p>\n

SIG global customer marketing director Norman Gierow commented: \u201cThis collaboration with Oobli reinforces SIG\u2019s position at the intersection of taste, health, and convenience. By pairing our aseptic filling systems and packaging versatility with Oobli\u2019s sweetness technology, we are enabling manufacturers to bring healthier beverages to market quickly and reliably, with broad distribution potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2025, SIG\u00a0reported a net loss<\/a>\u00a0of \u20ac87m\u00a0($101.2m). <\/p>\n

This contrasts with a profit of \u20ac194.5m\u00a0in\u00a0the previous year, with the decline\u00a0mainly attributed\u00a0to \u20ac351m\u00a0in non-recurring charges from a strategic review and challenging market conditions.<\/p>\n

Excluding these charges, SIG posted a net profit of \u20ac208.3m.<\/p>\n
