Universal Pack is constantly growing year by year, but its roots are anchored in the last century when history began. For this reason, we believe that the mix between tradition and innovation is the best recipe to meet your needs.
The company was founded in 1965. By that time the founder Gino Donati had already designed and built his first sachet machine in the ‘50s. Throughout these years, Universal Pack’s packaging machines have been recognized worldwide for their essential characteristics: precision, accuracy, flexibility, reliability, durability and efficiency.
Despite almost 60 years of experience, Universal Pack team is nowadays younger because of the generational turnover. As this could be a tricky topic to face for small and medium enterprises we are overcoming it by flanking our junior engineers with our senior engineers. Continuity and consistency lie at the core of the company to continuously guarantee high standards in terms of quality.
