Ats Packaging

What Ats Packaging does

ATS Packaging S.R.L. is an Italian manufacturer of injection-molded food packaging, founded in 1991 by the Gasparini family and headquartered in Mirano (Venice). The company produces plastic trays, punnets, plates, and containers using polypropylene suitable for food contact, integrating in-house decoration technologies — IML (In-Mould Labelling, since 1999), Offset printing (since 2010), Sleeve application (since 2015), and Masterbatch colorants — within two production facilities located in Ballò (Venice, operational since 1998) and Barcelona (Atiese S.l., since 2012). Annual production capacity is reported at 450 million pieces.

The company serves food manufacturers across six primary verticals: dairy/cheese (Lattiero Caseario), gastronomy, pasta makers (Pastifici), fish/seafood, butchery, and ice cream. Its 300+ active customers include notable European dairy and food enterprises such as Galbani, Parmalat, Sammontana, Ambrosi, Sterilgarda, Goldsteig, Sabelli, Valcolatte, and Osella. Quality and regulatory credentials include HACCP, BRCGS, and ISO 9001 certifications (obtained 2007). Recent sustainability investments include a 600 KW photovoltaic installation (2025) and electric presses, reported to save 173 tonnes of CO2 and generate 86 MWh annually.

The business model is B2B with quote-based pricing tailored to customer specifications, encompassing design, prototyping, mold production, and series manufacturing. Distribution combines a direct sales team with Italian and European dealer networks; a dedicated Spanish division supports Iberian operations. Marketing channels include a multilingual website (Italian, Spanish, English, French), a LinkedIn presence active since 2019, and trade exhibitions such as the SIC (Salone dell'Industria Casearia). ATS Packaging remains privately held under Gasparini family ownership with no external funding rounds or institutional investors disclosed; a 2026 strategic partnership with bonÀrea signals a directional move into reusable and circular-economy food packaging.
