Liquid yogurts in single serve bottles is one of the most rapidly growing sectors in the drink packaging industry. Actually, in many of the markets such as Japan, Europe and South America, pourable yogurts are becoming more and more common as they are much easier to consume than thicker yogurts usually eaten with a spoon and thanks to the general perception of good health associated with yogurt consumption.
The "Tandem Blow" process developed by Bekum is increasingly proving to be an engine of efficiency. This process, first unveiled at the K1998, can point to an extremely successful market penetration after almost 10 years. The success of this technology ideally complements the trend towards small drinking yoghurt bottles, such as Actimel & Co.
