Sacmi is an Italian-based company known for manufacturing and designing modernized machinery, integrated solutions, and complete production plants. The company aims to serve the plastics, food and beverage, ceramics, and packaging sectors through continuous innovation, technological advancement, and high-quality engineering solutions.
The latest developments at Sacmi are making headlines across the packaging sector. The company has acquired multiple stakes in France-based Groupe Emballage Technologies, a strategic move aimed at strengthening Sacmi’s presence in the food packaging market and expanding its reach across European markets. This targeted acquisition is expected to accelerate business development and support the company’s overall growth strategy.
The transaction was confirmed on 19 December 2025, with Sacmi acquiring nearly a 65% shareholding and becoming a major shareholder in Groupe Emballage Technologies. The deal was carried out through Sacmi Packaging & Chocolate, the company’s business unit focused on food packaging solutions. Groupe Emballage Technologies’ strong ties with companies such as Pactisoud, Etpack, and Sermatec further enhance the strategic value and scale of this acquisition.
Sacmi’s past engagements linked to this acquisition highlight the company’s strong business foresight and strategic approach. In 2019, Sacmi partnered with Etpack through its Polish branch, a collaboration that now appears to have come full circle with this renewed association. Sacmi has stated that the acquisition is built on a long-standing industrial relationship, shared expertise, and a well-aligned strategic vision for future growth.
The acquired stakes will strengthen Sacmi’s control over technological solutions across its packaging lines. The decision by Sacmi Packaging & Chocolate to purchase these stakes will advance its secondary packaging portfolio by integrating complementary technologies. These robust capabilities are expected to open access to new markets and broader industry segments.
The acquisition will further strengthen the company’s capabilities in flowpack line construction and vertical packaging machines, which are engineered by Sacmi and installed by Sermatec. This internal synergy is expected to improve operational efficiency and support the growing market demand. Sacmi views Groupe Emballage Technologies as a reliable and strategically aligned partner to drive this next phase of growth.
The acquisition aligns closely with Sacmi’s core objectives of strengthening its global footprint through an extensive network of sales and production facilities that support its strong international presence. Commenting on the development, Sacmi President Paolo Mongardi said, “Our major goal is bolstering our food packaging operations.”
