Inline, the Sidel customer-facing magazine which is fully dedicated to PET, has won yet another award with the announcement that it has achieved gold in the 2015 Stevie® International Business Awards.
The magazine, which is published in seven languages and distributed worldwide to more than 10,000 stakeholders in the beverage industry, covers a wide range of current topics relating to PET as a sustainable liquid packaging solution. Receiving gold in the category ‘Best Marketing or Sales Brochure or Kit’ is the latest in a number of awards which include previous Gold and Silver Stevie Awards and a Silver Astrid Award.
Sharing knowledge on beverage industry issues
Nicholas Bloch, Executive Vice President for Group Communications at Sidel, said – “It is very rewarding to get recognition for the quality of the magazine’s content from the awards’ judges, adding to the positive feedback we receive from beverage producers who clearly see its value to them. The objective of Inline magazine has always been to address the current issues that we face in the beverage industry and we cover many subjects: from the latest innovations in PET bottling technology to the wider challenges such as improving sustainability in beverage packaging. We also publish case studies on beverage producers from all over the world to demonstrate how they are maximising the considerable potential that PET offers.”
