SACMI COOL+ Mold Patents: From the 2025 EXPO to the Courtrooms – A Journey of Innovation and Protection

SACMI’s groundbreaking COOL+ mold technology is proudly featured at the 2025 EXPO OSAKA, where it takes center stage in the Italian Pavilion as part of a curated selection of the most representative patents previously showcased in the exhibition “ITALY, LAND OF PATENTS: Successful Inventions and Innovation.” This selection included 100 patents that were part of the prestigious display organized by the Italian Ministry of Commerce and Industry and hosted in Rome from November 2024 to March 2025.

COOL+ is a state-of-the-art mold cooling system developed by SACMI, a global leader in packaging and industrial automation. Engineered to revolutionize the production of plastic caps and preforms, COOL+ features a patented dual cooling circuit. This innovation ensures coolant flows closer to the mold surfaces in direct contact with molten plastic, dramatically reducing cycle times and boosting productivity. The result is a more efficient, sustainable, and high-performing manufacturing process.

As COOL+ gained global recognition and adoption, SACMI has vigilantly monitored the marketplace for potential instances of patent infringement. Defending our intellectual property represents greater protection for all the customers who have placed their trust in our company and our technology. Committed to protecting its intellectual property and clients that rely on its cutting-edge solutions, SACMI has taken firm legal action -where necessary- reinforcing the value of innovation and fair competition.

Under this context, Sacmi expresses its most sincere gratitude to China's intellectual property system for the strong support rendered. Their commitment to upholding intellectual property rights has been both timely and commendable. China’s continued investment in IP governance is underscored by its status as the world leader in trademark applications, design registrations, and patent filings—a testament to its evolving and mature legal infrastructure. This represents one of the world’s most advanced IP governance system, one that SACMI deeply respects and knows it can trust.

This journey—from global showcases of Italian ingenuity to decisive legal enforcement in Asia—reflects not only the strength of the COOL+ technology but also SACMI’s unwavering dedication to excellence, innovation, and the rule of law.
