Kit Pack

What Kit Pack does

Kit pacK S.r.l. a socio unico, founded in 1983 and headquartered in Padova, Italy, is a third-party contract packaging service provider specializing in the automated kitting and bagging of small metal and plastic hardware components (screws, nuts, washers, dowels, threaded rods, hexagonal keys). Since 2022 it operates as a subsidiary of the Berardi Group, a diversified industrial conglomerate.

The company's core technology stack comprises 10 vertical packaging lines and 1 horizontal packaging line housed in 1,800 m² of combined warehouse and production space. Each vertical line is equipped with 10 specialized counting modules (calibrated for different screw geometries, conical washers, and custom collar clamps) and a dual quality-control system: photocell-based visual barrier inspection combined with precision weight verification to 0.1 gram. Production lines are connected to a proprietary Industry 4.0 software platform that manages orders, aggregates production data to a central server, and retains multi-year quality records. Thermal-transfer printing enables per-package customization (logos, alphanumeric codes, barcodes, QR codes, multilingual assembly instructions) without incremental cost. Capacity reaches 2,500 packages per hour and 600,000 kits per week, with 25 film variants in stock including bags as small as 35 mm and a horizontal line capable of packaging articles exceeding 3 meters.

Kit Pack generates revenue through B2B contract packaging fees (confezionamento automatico conto terzi), pricing quote-based on volume, complexity, and customization requirements. Distribution is direct to enterprise manufacturers in metal hardware, plastic components, automotive, plumbing/fittings, and furniture hardware verticals; the company emphasizes a curated base of "selected and consolidated customers." Ancillary revenue-adjacent services include end-of-line labeling, boxing, palletizing, and a sustainable packaging line (BIGREEN 60% recycled polyethylene and 100% recycled Kraft paper) validated through a Life Cycle Assessment with University of Padua spin-offs Etifor and Spinlife. Operations are certified to RINA ISO 9001:2015, and the firm is documented as a CUOA Business School case study on Lean Six Sigma implementation.
