Some shapes become familiar, objects that enter our everyday lives and solutions that, over time, end up making history. This is the idea behind the theme SILFA, a manufacturer of metal packaging for the food industry, brought to Cibus Tec: ICONIC. Some shapes become iconic.
We would like to thank everyone who stopped by our stand. The conversations, questions and exchanges of ideas on metal drums, cans and metal packaging solutions were a valuable opportunity for us to connect and grow.
The SILFA Conical Drum: An Icon of Aseptic Packaging
In the 1960s, SILFA introduced the first 220-litre conical drum designed for the aseptic packaging of tomato. It was an insight that helped transform the industry and that today remains a benchmark for preserving Italian “red gold” and many other food products.
That shape, born to meet a concrete need, became far more than a technical solution: it is the symbol of our ability to innovate, anticipate market needs and build value over time. It is a story that tells of our roots: the vision of those who looked beyond the present and turned it into a legacy capable of spanning generations. A heritage that Walter Cereda, son of Vincenzo Cereda, considers a responsibility to safeguard and to carry forward with the same spirit of innovation.
Metal Packaging for Food and Coffee: Custom Drums and Cans
Today SILFA is a metal packaging manufacturer specialising in metal drums and cans for coffee and food products. Metal remains a benchmark material for food packaging: it protects the product, preserves its quality and freshness, is durable and lends itself to recycling.
From large industrial formats to the coffee can, our goal remains the same as ever: to offer functional, reliable and recognisable solutions, developed together with our customers.
