CHALLENGE
Customer took a bold step to transition from glass to recycled PET bottles for their whiskey products — a first for the customer in India.
The goal was to reduce costs, improve energy efficiency, and support sustainability, but the shift came with significant challenges:

Design Complexity: Unique bottle shapes for market differentiation added handling difficulty.
High-Speed Requirements: The production line had to run at 300 bottles per minute (bpm) to meet Customer’s high demand.
