Between Tradition and Innovation
Universal Pack continues to grow year after year, while its roots date back to the last century. For this reason, we believe that the balance between tradition and innovation is the best way to meet customer needs.
The company was founded in 1965. At that time, founder Gino Donati had already designed and built his first sachet machine in the 1950s. Over the years, Universal Pack packaging machines have become recognized worldwide for their key characteristics: precision, accuracy, flexibility, reliability, durability and efficiency.
Despite more than 60 years of experience, the Universal Pack team is now younger thanks to generational renewal. Since this can be a complex challenge for small and medium-sized enterprises, we address it by pairing junior engineers with senior engineers. Continuity and consistency lie at the core of the company, helping us consistently support high quality standards.
We guide customers in selecting the right packaging machine. Our range includes entry-level machines, high-speed machinery and complete automated lines.
Full In-House Manufacturing
Unlike many other companies, we pride ourselves on being true builders. We design, build, and manufacture over 80 % of our machines components in-house. This ensures complete control over the manufacturing process and guarantees the highest standards of craftsmanship.
We adhere to strict international standards and regulations in our manufacturing processes. By meeting these stringent requirements, we ensure that our machines are safe, reliable, and compliant with industry norms.
