What Axium Packaging does

Axium Packaging is a French-headquartered plastic packaging manufacturer that, effective July 1, 2025, merged into Groupe SGT — a vertically integrated packaging group comprising eight entities: SGT (PET and rPET preform manufacturer), SGR (PET recycling facility), and six specialized packaging converters (ACTI PACK, ACTI PACK CZ, KKT Kaller-Kunststofftechnik GmbH, Loire Plastic Industrie, LAPAC, and SILTE). The group produces PET and HDPE bottles, jars, closures, sticks, and roll-on packaging in volumes ranging from 50ml to 5000ml, using injection stretch blow molding (ISBM), extrusion blow molding, thermoplastic injection, and 2-steps cold cycle blow molding across materials including PET, rPET, PE, PP, ABS, PS, PC, and Surlyn.

The company's go-to-market is direct B2B sales through regionally specialized subsidiaries serving consumer product companies in personal care, food, chemicals, and leisure industries across Western Europe (France, Germany, Italy), Eastern Europe (Czech Republic, Poland), and — following the September 2025 opening of a Brampton, Ontario plant — North America. The value proposition centers on providing a complete packaging solution (jar or bottle plus closure) from a single supplier, with an eco-design emphasis on optimized material weights and use of recycled and recyclable content to meet brand-owner sustainability mandates.

Revenue mechanics are based on hardware sales of custom and standard plastic packaging; no pricing, contract, or per-unit economics are publicly disclosed. The company employs 101–250 people and is privately held with no disclosed institutional ownership, funding rounds, or revenue figures in the available source material. The company was originally founded in 1999 and is headquartered in Saint-Étienne, France.
