Masterpack Group

What Masterpack Group does

Masterpack Group B.V. is a Netherlands-headquartered, family-owned industrial packaging manufacturer founded in 1920 (originally as a jute bag producer) and now specializing in Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) and Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) for sensitive bulk goods. The company transitioned from jute to PP woven industrial packaging in the 1970s and has built vertically integrated production across facilities in Thailand, China, and Bangladesh — through wholly-owned subsidiaries Thai Masterpack, Wellknit Container Bag, Paragon Plastics, and Mono Bag Mills — delivering a combined capacity of more than 4 million FIBCs per year. The Dutch headquarters in Enschede combines corporate management with an in-house R&D center for custom testing and new solution development.

Core offerings center on FIBCs, custom-shaped liners (PowerTube, PowerQube) designed to reduce material waste, MAP solutions engineered to maintain sub-1% oxygen levels for more than 6 months, and a suite of valves and specialty components. Around this core, Masterpack sells equipment that completes the packaging ecosystem: an All-in-One dual-position FIBC processor, a Vacuum and Gas Injection machine, and an automatic spout Sealing machine. Wholly-owned subsidiary Somsix BV extends the platform with a patented wireless sensor system (LoRa Gateway) for non-invasive, real-time monitoring of oxygen, temperature, and humidity inside filled bags. A technology partnership with Sensor Spot integrates luminescent sensor spots into gas-tight liners for 100% inline gas-composition QC without breaking pack integrity.

Masterpack operates a direct, sales-led go-to-market through its Netherlands headquarters and a US sales office and distribution facility established in Berlin, New Jersey in 2021. Products are custom-engineered to specification with no public pricing; engagements are quote-driven and target enterprise customers in food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and mining/minerals verticals, with adjacent exposure to dairy and cannabis. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time sales of packaging products and equipment, supplemented by Somsix hardware and monitoring sales. A dense certification stack — GMP, HACCP, HALAL, Kosher, ISO 9001/14000/22000, BRC, AIB, SA8000, SEDEX — combined with Cleanroom production (Class 10,000 and 100,000) and EcoVadis Platinum underpins access to regulated buyers.
