Somic Verpackungsmaschinen GmbH & Co. KG is delighted to receive a special award: the state-of-the-art Somic 434 end-of-line packaging machine has been honored with the prestigious Red Dot Award “Product Design 2025.” This makes the Somic 434 one of the best product designs of the year.

The international Red Dot jury, consisting of 43 experts from 21 countries, was particularly impressed by the successful combination of complex technology and a well-thought-out, ergonomic machine concept. The Somic 434 groups products such as bags, folding cartons, cans, or jars and gently packs them into shelf-ready cartons ready for shipment. With its modular design, it can be flexibly adapted – for example, for applications in the food or cosmetics industry.

In addition to its technical performance, the jury also highlighted the machine's design: generous glass surfaces, a slim frame construction, and LED corner lighting impressively showcase the technology. The soundproof supply cabinet and intuitive touch controls also ensure a safe and ergonomic working environment. “This award is a great honor for the entire SOMIC team,” says CEO Patrick Bonetsmüller. “It underlines our claim to combine technology, functionality, and design at the highest level.”
