Case Study: Sidel India achieves 20% faster time-to-market and 30% lower development costs with SOLIDWORKS

Advancing Stretch Blow-molding Machine Design With SolidWorks Solutions

Sidel India, a leading manufacturer of two-stage stretch blow-molding bottling and packaging machines, faced the challenge of accelerating development of complex machinery while improving quality and shortening time-to-market. To meet these goals, Sidel India partnered with SolidWorks and adopted its 3D design and product-data solutions, moving from 2D AutoCAD to SolidWorks to better handle large assemblies and iterative design changes.

SolidWorks implemented a suite of tools—SolidWorks Standard/Professional/Premium, Enterprise PDM, and Composer—enabling tighter revision control, broader access to 3D data, and faster technical documentation. As a result, Sidel India shortened time-to-market by 20%, reduced development costs and design errors by 30% each, and cut documentation development time by 40%, while improving large-assembly design and overall product quality.
