In the competitive scenario of industrial packaging, Gampack stands out as a prominent player in secondary packaging and end-of-line solutions, providing turnkey solutions across global markets. Since its founding in 2003, the company has accumulated extensive experience in packaging automation, further advancing its expertise in robotic technologies following the acquisition of a historic Italian robotics company in 2020. In this way, Gampack continues to serve a diverse range of industries, including food & beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and pet food.
A Company with an Innovative DNA
Renowned for its pioneering approach, Gampack specializes in designing and manufacturing advanced secondary packaging and end-of-line systems. The core of its offerings lies, on one hand, in the design of automatic machines to pack a variety of rigid products—from beverage cartons to cans and glass jars—intended for liquid and semi-liquid goods such as fruit juices, jams, milk, and pet food. On the other hand, the company’s drive for innovation is also reflected in its robotics division, which enhances its portfolio with classic packaging machines integrated with highly customizable robotic systems, specifically tailored for both the aforementioned rigid items and flexible products, such as doypacks, flowpacks, and pouches. An example of Gampack’s innovation is a palletising cell designed for a German beverage customer able to handle two production lines with different beverage carton formats simultaneously, boosting productivity. The first line manages 500ml beverage cartons in 12-piece transport case at a rate of 13 cases per minute, whereas the second processes 1000ml beverage in 6-unit cases with a nominal speed of 26 cases per minute. Pallets are configured with 6 layers for the 500ml line and 5 for the 1000ml line, and the customer can adjust the number of layers daily.
Central to the system is a 4-axis anthropomorphic robot with a 450kg load capacity, using one single head to grip full layers, interlayers, and empty pallets with precision. Each line feeds an independent layer preparation station, ensuring continuous flow. Empty pallets are stored in a magazine and transported on roller conveyors to a quality control unit, where each undergoes eight dimensional and integrity checks (length, width, thickness, resistance). Non-compliant pallets are rejected and stacked separately; compliant pallets move to the aforementioned picking position.
After inspection, pallets are wrapped with stretch film by an automated station equipped with a top-mounted device to prevent dust accumulation, then labeled on three sides. A communication link with the client’s MES system transfers production data for internal statistics and label printing. This flexible, rigorously controlled system delivers high productivity and meets the stringent standards of the beverage industry.
In addition, flexibility is certainly another cornerstone for Gampack. The company’s machines are designed to quickly adapt to different packaging sizes and production parameters, ensuring high versatility. With over 1,700 installations worldwide, Gampack guarantees solutions tailored to the customer’s needs, backed by excellent after-sales service, which distinguishes the company from its competitors. This includes timely spare parts supply and technical interventions on production lines within 24 hours from the customer’s request to ensure seamless operational continuity, reinforcing the company’s reliability.
Advancing with AI and Sustainable Packaging for a Greener Future
Looking ahead, Gampack is committed to further international expansion and technological development. The company’s R&D efforts are increasingly focused on incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into its packaging systems. By analyzing production data and optimizing processes, AI enhances efficiency, prevents errors, and minimizes waste, improving both productivity and the operator’s working environment.
In addition, in response to environmental challenges, Gampack has embraced sustainability by adopting eco-friendly production processes. The company has introduced sustainable packaging innovations, such as clusters, Mini-trays, Eco-labels, and I-layers, crafted from renewable, biodegradable, and recyclable materials. These solutions reflect Gampack’s commitment to reducing environmental impact while maintaining production efficiency—an increasingly crucial factor for customers.
Two Decades of Expertise Driving Gampack Toward New Horizons
Under the leadership of co-founder and President Giuseppe Gazzola, Gampack follows a path of ambitious growth and progress. A strong management team supports the company’s forward-looking strategy, driving success while maintaining Gampack’s core identity. With an unwavering focus on innovation and sustainability, Gampack solidifies its leadership in the packaging industry, consistently offering pioneering solutions that meet the evolving challenges of a global market.
