TECHNIBAG

What TECHNIBAG does

TECHNIBAG SAS is a French private company, founded in 2000 and headquartered in Villefranche-sur-Saône, that designs and manufactures equipment to fill and package liquid products into flexible bag-in-box (BIB) containers. Its product portfolio spans three tiers of filling machines — semi-manual (BIB'UP, SYMPATY), semi-automatic (PREMIA), and automatic (B'BOOSTER) — plus the FLEXI-LINE fully automatic conditioning platform, which scales from a single 13 BIB/3L-per-minute filling head up to a four-head configuration producing 60 BIB/3L per minute. The portfolio is rounded out by a peripheral equipment suite (FLOW-PILOT buffer tanks, O'BOX carton formers, C'BOOSTER case packers, C'BOX sealers) and supporting services (custom engineering studies, GBR studies for stoppers/spouts/caps, line testing, installation/commissioning, and a technical support hotline). Capacity coverage runs from approximately 1,000 bags per year at the entry level to over 10 million bags per year at the enterprise level.

The company monetizes primarily through one-time capital equipment sales complemented by turnkey installation, recurring maintenance and spare-parts revenue, custom engineering studies, and a smaller refurbished-equipment stream. Pricing is quote-based across all tiers. Distribution is direct from the French headquarters and from a wholly-owned Spanish subsidiary, TECHNIBAG IBERICA S.L. in Madrid, supplemented by a distributor network referenced on the company's website. End markets are diversified across four verticals: wines and spirits, fruit juices and derivatives, agri-food and other food products, and industrial non-food liquids (automotive fluids, detergents, paints, cosmetics). The company markets itself through a multi-language website (French, English, Spanish, German, Italian), LinkedIn, and participation in industry events such as the POUCH RECYCLABLE exhibition.

TECHNIBAG claims 35.7% share of the European bag-in-box equipment market in 2025, a niche of the broader USD 3.9 billion global bag-in-box containers market. It is privately held with no disclosed external investors or parent company, has 11–50 employees, and has been recognized with a Médaille d'Or (Gold Medal) for innovation. Its GDPR-compliant web infrastructure and 25-year operating history support its positioning as an established, specialist industrial equipment vendor in a defensible but narrow segment.
