The SACMI Group has reached another milestone in its packaging and chocolate-related business investment strategy by establishing the Tray Forming Business Unit within SACMI Packaging & Chocolate.
 
This move - formalized on 14 December 2020 - sees the SACMI Packaging business branch ceded to SACMI Packaging & Chocolate S.p.A. The goal? To strengthen the Group's strategic standing within the industry by developing new production and business synergies.
 
Acquired by SACMI in 1986, the company (then Inpak) saw the SACMI Group become a producer of complete packaging and palletizing systems for both the fruit and vegetable sector and industry. Established as SACMI Packaging in 2004, the company has since grown considerably, developing unmatched skills - especially in the medium-speed segment - thanks to high-tech solutions and an integrated product range that spans from initial design to after-sales services.
 
This operation involves - as per the Group's multi-year strategic plan - the transfer of production to the new plant in Castel San Pietro Terme, not far from the headquarters in Imola. Since 2018 this facility has been home to all of SACMI Packaging & Chocolate's Wrapping operations.
 
At present SACMI Packaging&Chocolate is the world’s only company capable of providing – via its tried and tested brands – machines and complete lines for the preparation and moulding of chocolate (Carle&Montanari), wrapping systems for all types of chocolate or sweets (Carle&Montanari and FIMA), flow-pack lines and secondary packaging solutions (OPM) for a variety of food and non-food sectors.
 
This latest addition brings the number of business units within SACMI Packaging & Chocolate to four, working out of three separate facilities: Wrapping and Tray Forming (Castel San Pietro, BO), Process & Moulding (Rozzano, MI) and Packaging (Alba, CN).
 
“The establishment of the Tray Forming BU within SACMI Packaging & Chocolate”, points out Managing Director Giovanni Campolungo, “completes a strategic plan, initiated some time ago, that aims to further strengthen and diversify the range in all SACMI's packaging and chocolate-related businesses. More specifically, the operation reinforces potential production and sales synergies in the secondary packaging segment by integrating the range of solutions already offered under the OPM brand name”.
 
Roberto Bucchi, former CEO of SACMI Packaging, has been appointed to lead this latest business unit. “This new set-up”, stated Bucchi, “will allow us - thanks to comprehensive plant engineering skills that combine strong customization of the range with high technological content and automation, all with an eye to 4.0 - to focus more sharply on the SACMI Packaging & Chocolate product range to boost its standing in confectionery & bakery, extending the strong leadership it already enjoys in sectors such as fruit & vegetables and food in general (dairies, meat, snacks, etc.), not to mention non-food areas such as e-commerce, detergents, ceramics, tissue, etc.”
