Sidel Technologies power TVOP edible oil success

Thanakorn Vegetable Oil Products (TVOP) is redefining the global edible oil market by becoming the first company worldwide to adopt Sidel’s breakthrough EvoBLOW Laser technology.

The move, part of a brand-new factory installation, equips TVOP with a harmonised production ecosystem designed to meet surging market demand for sustainable, high-quality packaging.

The partnership marks a significant leap in manufacturing precision, enabling TVOP to lead the Asian market in both operational efficiency and environmental stewardship.

The transition to laser-powered blowing technology has allowed TVOP to launch a new 1L edible oil bottle that is 2 grams lighter than previous versions. Developed alongside Sidel’s packaging experts, the design maintains structural integrity and shelf appeal while significantly reducing material consumption.

“This laser technology will help us improve performance, energy efficiency, production stability and material savings which are all critical for edible oil manufacturers,” said Adul Premprasert, CEO of TVOP. “It will allow us to respond faster to market demand while maintaining product quality and operational efficiency.”

Beyond the blowing process, TVOP has integrated a suite of Sidel’s low-carbon solutions to minimise its factory’s footprint:

• EvoFilm Stretch: delivers a 90% reduction in energy consumption compared to traditional shrink-wrap solutions.
• CoboREEL: a cobotic solution for automated label reel loading that offers three times the reel capacity of competitors while consuming less than 0.5 kWh.
• Evo-ON Cloud Suite: a digital intelligence platform that transforms raw equipment data into actionable insights to maintain peak performance.

These investments align with TVOP’s mission to promote a low-carbon footprint and prepare for the future adoption of recycled PET (rPET).

The collaboration between TVOP and Sidel dates back to 1978. Over nearly five decades, the relationship has evolved from a supplier-customer dynamic into a comprehensive strategic partnership. By acting as a one-stop shop, Sidel provides TVOP with a complete line that integrates blowing, filling, and end-of-line automation.

“Sidel has been more than just a supplier. We work as long-term partners, hand in hand, lifting good things for the company, for our society and ultimately for our planet,” Premprasert added.

As TVOP scales its new facility, the integration of EvoBLOW Laser and digital monitoring systems ensures the company remains at the forefront of the $27 billion+ global edible oil market, offering a premium consumer experience with a significantly reduced environmental impact.
