Universal Pack: Innovation and Sustainability Drive the Transformation of the Italian Packaging Leader

Universal Pack, an Italian leader in the stick pack and sachet packaging machinery sector, is undergoing a significant transformation towards sustainability. Founded in 1965, the company has always placed innovation at the core of its strategies, now combining this vision with more eco-friendly practices.

Recently, Universal Pack collaborated with major suppliers from different sectors (food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic and chemical) to develop compostable and recyclable films, ensuring optimal product protection and perfect compatibility with their machines. This process required extensive research and development, leading to the creation of advanced solutions for the sustainable packaging market.

The company has also set an ambitious waste recovery goal, aiming for 95% by 2025, after already achieving 91.7% in 2022. To reach these milestones, Universal Pack is upgrading its technologies, replacing outdated machines with cutting-edge technology, and improving energy efficiency through the use of low-consumption motors.

Additionally, the company is planning to build a new facility designed to be a net-zero energy building, equipped with advanced technologies and powered by renewable energy. This new facility not only responds to the company’s growth but also represents another step towards a sustainable future.
