Sokpol brings closure production in-house with Netstal
Polish beverage manufacturer Sokpol relies on a turnkey injection molding system solution from Netstal for the in-house production of beverage closures. This enables the family-owned company to improve quality, ensure design consistency, and maintain supply chain control—while also enhancing its competitiveness in the international market through fast cycle times and low production costs.
The history of Sokpol is closely linked to its owner and founder, Roman Sobczyk. Born in 1957, Sobczyk laid the foundation for his technical career in Germany in the 1980s, when he worked at Tetra Pak in customer service, engineering, and training. The experience he gained there, his firsthand exposure to advanced packaging and filling standards, and his work with numerous customers later became a driving force behind the introduction of state-of-the-art beverage technology in his home country of Poland.
From a startup to a state-of-the-art beverage company
After returning to Poland, Sobczyk founded the company Sokpol in 1992. His goal was to build a state-of-the-art beverage company. He immediately set an important milestone by installing an aseptic filling line for his former employer. Building on this success, he was able to successfully expand his company. Sokpol remains 100% family-owned to this day. Production, automation, and the product portfolio in the areas of PET and carton packaging have been steadily and consistently expanded in this context, while simultaneously investing in sustainability and certified management systems. Today, the company operates three plants in Poland with over 500 employees. Sokpol produces for well-known customers in Europe, but has also added clients in North America, Africa, and South Korea to its growing customer base.
Turnkey system solution for the injection molding production of 38mm easy-open caps
In-house closure production to ensure compliance with high quality standards
As part of a strategic decision to bring key packaging components closer to its own production facilities, Sokpol decided to manufacture beverage closures in-house rather than relying exclusively on external suppliers, as done previously. The goal was to retain control over quality and design and to improve supply reliability. Previously, closures were sourced from various suppliers, which led to inconsistencies in quality and design. In-house production provided optimal support for the transition to a uniform and independent product design. Purchasing continued temporarily as a transitional solution, with in-house production representing the strategic goal.
Installed System and Scope
The turnkey system is based on a high-performance Elion 3200 injection molding machine. It is equipped with a 48-cavity mold from Corvaglia, and the downstream equipment is supplied by IMD vista. The system produces a 38-mm easy-open cap for aseptic filling with a cycle time of well under 4 seconds. This places it well below established industry standards. The closures produced by this system are fed into a high-speed filling line from Krones, where iced tea and juice are processed. The cooling solution was planned and implemented in collaboration with the Polish partner Muehsam.
Netstal stood out in a comprehensive evaluation of various technology partners
As part of the strategically significant closure project, Sokpol conducted a structured supplier evaluation in which it compared various technology options. The final decision was then deliberately made to bring on a new technology partner, with Netstal being selected instead of the company’s existing machine suppliers or another candidate from the shortlist. This “second technology” approach is part of Sokpol’s strategy to diversify its investments. It is important to the company to minimize risks and reduce dependence on individual technology partners. At the same time, the performance and expertise of the various suppliers were compared, ultimately allowing Netstal to successfully secure the contract for closure production.
Top-tier, high-efficiency production: Netstal’s Elion 3200, equipped with a 48-cavity mold from Corvaglia, achieves cycle times well under 4 seconds
Beyond the strategic aspects, Sokpol also highlighted various technical and project-related advantages. Netstal’s proposal—particularly the high performance and extremely robust design of the hybrid Elion 3200—was deemed ideal for the intended closure application. In addition, the overall package and the proposed implementation concept closely aligned with Sokpol’s requirements for stable, industrialized production and long-term process control. Overall, the package enabled Sokpol to position itself in a superior market position thanks to lower production costs.
Another key factor was Netstal’s decision to participate in the tender in collaboration with Corvaglia and one of its proven closure designs. Compared to an alternative that would have required a pilot plant, this solution was considered easier to implement, ready for immediate use, and better suited for integration into the existing filling environment. Given Sokpol’s focus on aseptic filling, these aspects were given particular weight.
A partnership built on trust: Roman Sobczyk, owner and founder of Sokpol (second from the right), with Patrick Waldvogel, Head of the CAP Business Unit at Netstal (first from the right), and Daniel Smith, Area Sales Manager at Corvaglia (third from the right). On the left in the photo are Mateusz Kostrzewski, Factory Director and Jerzy Urbanski, Deputy Chairman of the Board.
From the initial inquiry through to commissioning, Sokpol describes its collaboration with Netstal, Corvaglia, and the third project partner, IMD vista, as open and based on a high level of trust. During the ramp-up phase, the Sokpol team acquired new technical expertise in the field of injection molding closures. On-site training and support helped stabilize operations, even during off-peak hours and night shifts.
We think from our customers' perspective
As the world's leading Swiss manufacturer of injection molding machines and system solutions for plastics processing, Netstal Maschinen AG is also intensively engaged with digitalization and sustainability. In this interview, Renzo Davatz explains what this means for the further development of technology and what role leadership plays in volatile times for the future of the company and Switzerland as a manufacturing location.
Mr. Davatz, how has your core business, the manufacture of injection molding machines for plastics, changed in recent years?
The most significant change is probably the pressure from Chinese manufacturers, who have caught up technologically and are pushing into Western markets with highly aggressive pricing. This combination of increasing technical competitiveness and enormous price aggressiveness is also changing the business for Western injection molding machine manufacturers.
Which target markets are particularly important to you?
Europe has historically been an important market for us. We are now well established there. We expect the greatest growth to come from the US, which is a very exciting market. At the same time, we are also active in Asia. For the past two to three years, we have also been very successful in India, which is also developing into an exciting market for us.
The packaging of food and the manufacture of medical consumables are fundamental aspects of our everyday lives. Does that mean we have a special responsibility?
The greatest responsibility that I, or we, feel is to live up to the Netstal brand promise. Netstal is known for maximum performance and optimum production efficiency. We want to live up to this promise not only with performance and quality at delivery or in the first year of operation, but throughout the entire life cycle of a machine. With comprehensive service for spare parts, retrofits, and optimizations, we want to maintain high production efficiency and availability of the systems throughout their entire service life. Of course, there are specific requirements in the food and medical sectors regarding cleanliness, traceability, and documentation, to which we have always been committed.
Are there any new trends in plastics processing that will shape the coming years?
In the areas of application in which we operate, there are not as many new plastic materials as there are in the automotive industry, for example. However, there is a trend towards using PET, the material used to make PET bottles, for other applications as well. For example, caps, which have traditionally been made from HDPE, are now also to be made from PET, even though this poses a major technical challenge. This would further facilitate the recycling of PET bottles, for which a closed loop has already been established in Switzerland and Germany. There are also attempts to produce thin-walled and food packaging from PET. In addition, there are bio-based plastics, which have not yet become widely accepted because they are too expensive in large quantities. Technically, this already works, but it does not yet make economic sense.
"There are product managers, salespeople, and application engineers for each area. And they think strictly within their field of application and work on optimizations for these applications."
To what extent are new developments determined by digitalization and sustainability?
Whereas in the past it was all about the physical product, namely the machine, today it is increasingly about being able to offer customers an integrated, networked, and therefore autonomous production cell. This should be as easy to operate as possible, deliver high output, and offer correspondingly large process windows. When it comes to sustainability, two aspects are now crucial. The machine itself should consume less and less energy. This means that hydraulic axes are increasingly being replaced by electric axes. Secondly, it is important that the machines can process materials such as rPET, which means recycled PET, without any problems.
So you always have to think from the perspective of customers who want to manufacture or package their products even better or more efficiently?
This customer-oriented approach is very important to us. We have four application units: PET preforms, which are preforms for subsequent PET bottles, closures, medical technology applications, and thin-walled packaging, for example, for ice cream, butter, or margarine. There are product managers, sales representatives, and application engineers for each area. They think strictly within their field of application and work on optimizations for these applications.
What sets Netstal apart from its international competitors?
We are very focused on our four areas of application and do nothing else. If you ask me about our USP, I would say that Netstal stands for exceptional production efficiency. Our machines may not be the cheapest to purchase, but they enable you to manufacture your product at the lowest possible cost.
What does leadership mean in the face of global crises, regional sanctions, or regulations?
In my opinion, all the volatility and uncertainty make the job more exciting than ever. I believe the challenge is that a good leader must be able to set a direction even when not all the answers are available. It is important to communicate honestly about what is known and what is not. And to set clear priorities that help the team remain capable of acting despite uncertainties. Good leadership in volatile times means having inner stability while everything around you is in flux.
What makes Netstal stand out as an employer?
I would highlight two points. First, despite, or perhaps even because of, a very challenging environment in the industry, we have a team that has developed a special corporate culture and is enthusiastic about our customers and their products. A genuine Netstal spirit, if I may say so. The second point is our international environment. With a technologically sophisticated product and an export quota of 95 percent, the company can naturally offer exciting and very diverse careers as well as opportunities for further development. It has been exciting from the very beginning. I was able to experience this myself, as I started as an apprentice in this company.

New: Adaptive system pressure reduction in PET applications
With the adaptive system pressure reduction function, users of the Elion and Elios series have already been achieving considerable energy savings since 2023. The option is now also available for PET-Line.
Since its market launch in 2020, the PET Line with side entry has been considered the most modern and energy-efficient preform injection molding system on the market. With the adaptive system pressure reduction, which is now also available for the PET-Line, Netstal is further increasing efficiency. With active system pressure reduction, the hydraulic pressure is lowered to the optimum point. Only as much pressure is generated as is required.
The video illustrates how adaptive system pressure reduction works.
Leading energy efficiency at maximum productivity
The potential is enormous: depending on the application profile, you can save five-figure energy costs per year with the system pressure reduction. The significantly reduced consumption also lowers the CO2 footprint of your entire production. Most importantly, the cycle time and injection performance are not affected. The PET-Line produces the same output and consistent quality with lower power consumption.
Find out more at drinktec
At our live exhibit at drinktec, we will be happy to advise you personally on adaptive system pressure reduction and the many other benefits of the PET-Line that will make your day-to-day production easier. At our stand, you can experience a PET-Line 4000 of the latest generation. It produces ultra-light 6.9 g preforms with a 25/22 neck thread. The visit is worthwhile, you will find us from September 15 – 19 at the Munich trade fair, Hall C6, Stand 361.

Next machine generation: Experience the new Elion MED at K 2025
Do you manufacture medical technology parts from plastic and are you enthusiastic about innovative injection molding technology? Then you should plan a visit to Netstal at K 2025. In our booth D24 in hall 15, we will be presenting the latest generation of the Elion MED with a shortened design, optimized toggle lever geometry and a new injection gearbox. With the new Elion MED, you can produce on a smaller footprint with increased efficiency. We call this "the evolution of efficiency".
These highlights await you:
- High performance in a small space: We have consistently optimized all modules for a compact footprint. The result is a significantly shorter machine that offers outstanding performance and great flexibility for a wide range of applications with identical clamping force.
- Leading precision: High-precision sensors with an extremely high 2 kHz sampling rate enable unmatched precision and reproducibility. The newly revised quality monitoring system ensures seamless monitoring and assurance of production quality.
- Unmatched reliability: Netstal machines are particularly durable. With the new Elion, we have further developed proven concepts. The machine is extremely solidly engineered. This enables us to meet your high requirements so that you can produce continuously for many years without any loss of performance.
- Maximum efficiency: The servo drives we use offer you the best energy efficiency. With the newly designed servo-hydraulic direct drive for the aggregate movement and the application of the contact force, we have once again significantly increased the energy efficiency of the Elion.
- Clean room compatible: Thanks to fully encapsulated and water-cooled drive motors and hermetically sealed control cabinets, the new Elion operates with virtually no emissions. We have designed the entire machine with its new protective housing for optimal cleaning. The Elion MED can be used in clean rooms up to class 7 as standard. Higher clean room classes are also possible with additional equipment options.
- Open connectivity: The new Elion offers all modern interfaces based on OPC-UA for networking with central control systems and various peripheral components. Thanks to HTML 5 integration, even more complex system components can be easily integrated into the machine control system.
Live production at the Netstal booth:
For the market launch, we will be demonstrating the new Elion MED in action at K 2025 in Hall 15: On the 1200 kN machine, which is optimized for clean rooms, an autoinjector housing is produced in a cycle time of approx. 12 seconds, using an innovative 4-cavity mold from Zahoransky.
What makes it special is that, thanks to indexing technology with an integrated rotary unit and individually controlled, servo-electric needle shut-off nozzles, the cycle time is significantly reduced compared to conventional tools. Automation is handled by a 6-axis robot that removes the components when the tool is closed. Saxe’s compact solution includes optical quality control and automatic container changeover – fully integrated into the machine’s Axos control system. Tool cooling is also cleverly solved: Mouldflo water distributors integrated into the clamping plate record and monitor temperature differences and flow rates in real time.
Other partners involved in the exhibit are Ewikon (Hot runner technology), Petek (cleanroom technology), HB Therm (temperature control units), Piovan (material feed), Sabic (material), SAX Polymers (masterbatch) and bfa solutions (MES).

10.5 % energy saving with a thin-walled cup
With adaptive system pressure reduction, we presented a retrofittable option in 2023 that allows manufacturers to effectively save energy costs. The potential varies depending on the application.
Initial situation:
Using a coffee cup, we wanted to find out whether the calculated savings can be confirmed in practice. The thin-walled cup is produced in a 6-cavity mold on an Elion 2800 with a cycle time of 3.9 seconds. The shot weight is 95 g.
Solution from Netstal:
The application described was tested extensively with activated system pressure reduction. With the option activated, the injection molding machine requires around 10.5% less energy. A considerable reduction in costs and a relevant reduction in the CO2 footprint.
Adaptive system pressure reduction
The hydraulic system of Netstal injection molding machines is designed for a maximum operating pressure of 250 bar in order to be able to cope with peak loads without any problems. Depending on the application, a lower value would also be sufficient. This is where Netstal comes in with the new system pressure reduction and optimizes energy efficiency. In automatic mode, the adaptive control system determines the optimum point at all times and adjusts the system pressure accordingly. With the same or even increased productivity, the energy consumption for providing the system pressure is reduced to a minimum. A lower load on the components also has a positive effect on machine availability and overall service life.
Retrofit maximum efficiency: Optimize your operating processes sustainably with Smart Operation
Greater efficiency and productivity can also be achieved with existing machines. With Smart Operation, we offer you an innovative solution for optimizing operating processes in injection moulding production. Retrofitting is possible for all Netstal machines from control system generation Axos 7.
In high-performance applications, the aim is often to keep reducing cycle times in order to be able to produce even more. However, sometimes these gains are eaten up by small efficiency losses. This means that non-technical downtimes are either not taken into account or are regarded as unavoidable. With Smart Operation, you can reliably eliminate such downtimes and increase productivity.
More efficiency can be retrofitted: After the conversion, the Axos control unit has 4 additional Smart Buttons and a software update
(Move the slider to the left to see the controller after the conversion)
Sales increase in the six-figure range
A customer example: In the production of dental components, the injection molding machines have to be stopped at regular intervals in order to lubricate the tools. As the plant maintenance staff are unable to operate the injection molding machine, specialist personnel have to be called in each time. As the specialist has to look after several systems at the same time, there are always waiting times of several minutes. However, this adds up over the year and the negative impact on productivity is significant.
With Smart Operation, we were able to offer this customer an optimal solution. By anchoring specific production processes in the machine control system, a guided operation was created that can also be carried out error-free by maintenance personnel after a short briefing. Today, this customer has equipped several machines with Smart Operation and reports a six-figure increase in turnover. This is solely due to the elimination of the many short waiting times. Today, the plant maintenance staff independently access the machine, stop production, lubricate the tool and then restore the entire production cell, including the removal robot and packaging system, to production status.
Intuitive and safe operating concept eliminates non-technical downtime
The Smart Operation concept is based on anchoring operation-relevant scenarios and processes in the control system and changing the operating status at the touch of a button. A total of 4 of the so-called “Smart Buttons” are available. A color code on the main screen clearly indicates which buttons can be used to continue. The relevant buttons light up in the corresponding colors. For example, red for “Stop cycle mode” or green for “Start cycle mode”. If certain work steps are also required, such as ejecting the injection unit, this is displayed as an instruction. The execution must be confirmed before the next step can be continued. The principle is as intuitive as operating a coffee machine that indicates when the coffee grounds container needs to be emptied or a descaling program needs to be carried out.
Another application scenario is the rapid rectification of faults during the night shift. With Smart Operation, most faults can be rectified immediately by shift personnel. There is no need to wait until an application engineer arrives.
Users of Smart Operation benefit in several ways: the implementation of clearly defined processes protects capital goods from improper operation and reduces the risk of operating errors. Repair costs are reduced and system availability increases. Situational user interactions drastically reduce the amount of training required. Instructions printed on paper are no longer necessary. Smart Operation significantly increases overall production efficiency.
We always recommend adding Smart Operation for new machines. Smart Operation can be retrofitted to existing machines with Axos 7 and Axos 8 at any time. We will be happy to provide you with an efficiency consultation for optimum operating processes with Smart Operation and prepare a retrofit offer tailored to your needs.
