SACMI has gained a majority share in the French group Emballage Technologies, which comprises Etpack, Sermatec, and Pactisoud. The operation was completed via the subsidiary SACMI Packaging & Chocolate SpA, the business unit that operates in the food packaging sector and was made official Friday 19th December 2025 and sees the company gain a 65% share.
SACMI has been working with Etpack since 2019 through its Poland-based subsidiary. The basis for this transaction – of considerable commercial and industrial value – is the strong relationship between the two industrial groups and their shared strategic vision.
SACMI Packaging & Chocolate thus expands and completes its range of secondary packaging solutions by integrating specific technologies, with the resulting expansion of the offering allowing the company to reach into additional industries and market segments. This synergy also extends to the construction and assembly of the flowpack ranges and the low- and medium-speed vertical packaging machines – designed by SACMI and assembled in Sermatec – thus boosting the ability to respond to market dynamics.
Groupe Emballage Technologies is a renowned name in France, and SACMI is confident that it will be a major growth driver on this market, in keeping with the goal of achieving a strong local presence via a network of production and sales facilities. This operation aligns with SACMI Packaging & Chocolate’s broader business strategy with the company already present internationally in Poland, the DACH countries and the United States.
Said Paolo Mongardi, President of SACMI: “Strengthening our food packaging operations is a key SACMI goal. The skills and far-reaching presence of Groupe Emballage Technologies on the French market will bolster our growth there, which is extremely important to us. The complementary nature of our primary and secondary packaging solutions completes SACMI’s technological proposal. Opening up new market opportunities via the full involvement of our Global Network.”
Added Pierrick Doux: “Groupe Emballage Technologies will retain its managerial autonomy: a crucial aspect, in light of the excellent work done in recent years. Closer teamwork will facilitate the pursuit of shared strategic goals, helping to boost growth both in France and abroad.” For more visit sacmi.com
