Packsize Expands Its Global Reach with Panotec Acquisition

In a significant move to strengthen its presence in the automated packaging industry, Packsize®, a frontrunner in sustainable, on-demand packaging solutions, has officially confirmed its agreement to acquire the packaging operations of Panotec. This prestigious Italian company is known for its innovative packaging machines designed for both high and low automation processes.

This acquisition marks a pivotal step for Packsize, allowing it to enhance its existing machine portfolio while expanding its customer base across North America, Europe, and beyond. With an installation footprint in over fifty countries, the deal is poised to not only increase their operational capacity but also broaden the array of options available to businesses seeking to improve packaging efficiency.

Brian Reinhart, the Chief Revenue Officer of Packsize, expressed the strategic importance of this acquisition: “This acquisition further aligns our go-to-market approach and strengthens our ability to offer more flexibility and choice to businesses looking to optimize packaging operations while reducing waste and costs.” The combination of Packsize's sustainable solutions with Panotec's established presence in the industry creates a unique position in the market that's set to unlock new value for a wide range of customers.

The integration of Panotec follows Packsize’s earlier acquisition of Sparck Technologies in April 2025. This strategic maneuver allowed Packsize to combine its cutting-edge technology with Sparck’s fit-to-size box systems and exceptional box-last and lid-and-tray solutions. Both acquisitions demonstrate Packsize’s commitment to providing diversified packaging options to meet the evolving needs of its clients.

Kellen Frey, Chief Operating Officer, also expressed excitement regarding the merger: “This move strengthens our core technology capabilities and positions us to deliver even more scalable, efficient, right-sized packaging solutions. By combining talent, technology, and capacity, we continue to broaden our global capabilities with an emphasis on delivering best in class quality and service for our expanding customer base.”

Notably, Carlo Capoia, Panotec's Vice President, conveyed their enthusiasm for what lies ahead: “We look forward to leveraging the combined strengths of our companies to provide an unparalleled product selection and service to the markets we serve.”

The acquisition is set to be finalized upon meeting standard closing conditions, including obtaining necessary regulatory approvals and successfully completing consultations with relevant unions.
