What Lamiflex does
Lamiflex Group AB, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Nyköping, Sweden, is a privately-held supplier of transport packaging solutions for heavy industrial goods, primarily serving the global steel, aluminum, cable, and oil & gas industries. The company's portfolio integrates proprietary packaging materials — including Lamistretch stretch-film (with VCI corrosion-inhibitor additives), Lamiedge edge protection, Lamishield coil body protection, Lamiflex hardboard, and Lamiwrap — with a portfolio of patented automation equipment: the MultiWrapper (dual-ABB-robot stretch-film wrapping), PushWrapper (entry-level coil wrapping), and iTube (tube and bar bundling). The MultiWrapper integrates with customer production lines via Industry 4.0 PLC communication and is monitored through the MultiWrapper Analytics software add-on powered by Good Solutions' RS Production platform. Lamiflex operates eight wholly-owned subsidiaries across Sweden, Germany, Slovakia, the USA, South Korea, South Africa, India, and France, supported by exclusive distribution partnerships in additional markets such as Japan (Kohan Kugyo), and runs closed-loop recycling centers in Slovakia and Germany that supply PCR plastic for in-house manufacturing.
The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining direct sales of packaging materials, capital equipment sales, and recurring service contracts under the Lamifree program, in which monthly service fees for automation equipment are discounted based on packaging material consumption and large-volume plants may receive equipment without capital investment. Customers include Steel Dynamics, Algoma Steel, Spartan Steel Coating, Texarkana Aluminum, ArcelorMittal (South Africa and Poland), Novelis, Wuppermann, Worthington Steel, Tata Steel Downstream Products, Posco M-Tech, and Prabhat Global, with 4 of the 5 largest US steel coil manufacturers using the MultiWrapper. The company has been majority-owned by Nordic private equity firm Priveq Investment since 2018, holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, and is currently expanding its US footprint with a $5.04 million production facility in Borden, Indiana (planned 62 employees at full capacity), positioning North America as a key growth geography.
