Atlanta Packaging Technology and Machinery

What Atlanta Packaging Technology and Machinery does

Atlanta Packaging Technology and Machinery (legal entity Atlanta S.p.A.) is a privately held Italian manufacturer of automatic secondary packaging machinery, founded in 2001 and headquartered in Sala Bolognese, Bologna. The company designs and builds modular machines organized into three product families: shrink-wrap machines (Ambra, Aragon, Ecofard, and Opale series), wrap-around cartoning machines (Giotto, Raffaello, and Palladio series), and combined systems that integrate both technologies (Combi series). Its core engineering approach centers on a modular machine architecture that allows customers to configure machines from a standard component set, supported by proprietary features including Soft Touch handling for fragile products, carbon fiber wrapping bars for high-cycle durability, an adjustable heat-shrink tunnel with pre-chamber and airflow control, and touch-screen format changeover without parts replacement. Throughput ranges from 15 ppm (compact Raffaello) to 240 ppm (triple-lane Ecofard) depending on configuration.

The company serves manufacturing customers across five end markets — food, beverage, chemical and detergent, pet food, and pharmaceutical and personal care — with a stated installed base of more than 15,000 machines operating in 62 countries. Atlanta sells directly to manufacturing enterprises through its own sales, technical support, and spare-parts teams, supported by participation in international packaging trade shows (ProPak Asia, EXPO PACK Mexico/Guadalajara, ZOOMARK, Drinktec, CibusTec). The Atlanta Group includes three wholly-owned subsidiaries — Atlanta Stretch SpA (pallet wrapping), LP Packaging Srl (shrink film and cardboard packaging), and the acquired COMARME SRL (case sealers, acquired c. 2019–2020) — extending the group's reach into adjacent end-of-line packaging categories. Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure, consistent with the industrial capital-equipment model. Headcount is reported at 11–50 employees, and the company is independently owned with no disclosed external investors or funding rounds.
