corvaglia–FluidSolids partnership set to accelerate bio‑based packaging for beverage producers
Swiss packaging specialist corvaglia and bio‑materials innovator FluidSolids have entered a strategic partnership that promises to deliver major benefits for beverage producers seeking scalable, commercially viable alternatives to fossil‑based plastics.
The collaboration brings together corvaglia’s long‑established expertise in closure design, mould making and high‑precision injection moulding with FluidSolids’ patented, high‑performance bio‑based materials made from agricultural and food‑industry by‑products. By combining these capabilities into a single, integrated offering, the two companies aim to give beverage brands faster, more reliable access to next‑generation sustainable packaging solutions.
For beverage producers under increasing regulatory and commercial pressure to reduce plastic use, the partnership offers a practical pathway to transition away from conventional polymers without compromising performance.
corvaglia’s industrial know‑how ensures that FluidSolids’ fibre‑based materials can be processed at scale using established injection‑moulding technology – an essential requirement for high‑volume beverage closures. This means producers can adopt bio‑based materials without re‑engineering production lines or sacrificing quality.
Romeo Corvaglia, founder of corvaglia, said the partnership directly addresses the industry’s need for future‑proof solutions.
“Our customers expect solutions that are technologically mature and viable in the long term. Partnering with FluidSolids allows us to combine new material technologies with our industrial expertise, enabling us to respond effectively to the future needs of the packaging industry.”
For beverage brands, the collaboration expands the range of materials available for closures and other packaging components, supporting sustainability targets and helping companies comply with tightening FMCG packaging regulations across global markets.
The partnership also enables corvaglia to extend its value chain into material production, giving customers access to more sustainable closure options within existing product categories. At the same time, FluidSolids gains the ability to scale its patented material technology internationally, backed by corvaglia’s global footprint and technical support infrastructure.
FluidSolids CEO Beat Karrer said the partnership will accelerate adoption of bio‑based materials across the beverage sector.
“The strategic partnership with corvaglia creates tangible added value for our customers and enables us to scale our technology internationally and provide comprehensive technical support.”
FluidSolids’ materials are produced from natural fibres derived from agricultural and food‑production by‑products, offering a low‑carbon alternative to fossil‑origin plastics. Until now, many fibre‑based materials have struggled to meet the mechanical and processing demands of beverage closures. The combined expertise of both companies now makes industrial‑scale production feasible for the first time.
For beverage producers, this means access to sustainable materials that meet performance requirements, can be manufactured at scale, and support circular‑economy goals – all with minimal disruption to existing operations.
