Multivac has signed a collaboration agreement with packaging machine manufacturer Italianpack, expanding its product portfolio in the traysealer sector.

Multivac Sepp Haggenmüller SE & Co. KG has a purchase option for 25.1% of the shares in Italianpack S.p.A. with a term of three years.

With this collaboration, Multivac is taking a strategically important step towards complementing its portfolio of services in the field of traysealers. Founded in 1988 in Como, Italy, Italianpack is a growing manufacturer of traysealers with high quality and performance standards that distributes its products worldwide, both through a dealer network and directly. The company employs about 70 people and generated sales of 13.7 million euros in 2020.

“Italianpack has been successful on the market for many years,” said Christian Traumann, group president of MULTIVAC, and Tomaso Petrini, managing partner (CEO) of Italianpack. “We are looking forward to the collaboration in the traysealer business area, so that we can leverage our respective strengths in the best possible way to the benefit of our customers.”

As part of the collaboration, the smaller model series of Multivac-branded traysealers manufactured by Italianpack will begin being sold through Multivac's global sales and service network. With its more than 85 subsidiaries and market coverage of 165 countries, Multivac is ideally positioned to contribute to the successful marketing of Italianpack's traysealers worldwide.
