What Inpak does

Inpak (legally SS Automation & Packaging Machines) is a privately held Indian manufacturer of industrial packaging machinery, founded in 2008 and headquartered in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The company designs and builds a broad catalog of packaging and automation equipment across three product categories — FMCG packaging machines, Paper & Wood industry machines, and Conveyors & Automation — spanning band sealers (vertical and horizontal), volumetric and weighmetric granule fillers, servo-driven auger powder fillers (including dual-head and VFFS-integrated systems), piston and volumetric liquid and batter fillers, MAP-enabled two-chamber vacuum packers, fruit and vegetable wrappers, flat and round-bottle labeling machines, automatic and semi-automatic capping machines, hot-air and steam shrink tunnels, flow wrappers, shrink wrappers, check weighers, induction sealers, rice and bagging machines, reel wrappers, shrink bundlers, and a range of belt, roller, inclined, bucket, truck-loading, printing, and grading conveyors. Underlying technology is conventional industrial automation: PLC-based control with HMI touchscreens, PID temperature control, brushless direct-drive servo motors for auger filling, stainless steel SS-304/SS-316 construction for food-grade applications, and pneumatic sealing systems.

The business model is primarily one-time capital equipment sale, with quote-based pricing determined by machine specifications, configuration, and customization; revenue streams are packaging machinery sales, custom-built engineered solutions for specific customer requirements, and aftermarket services spanning installation, commissioning, regulatory compliance support, spare parts, and technical support. The company operates a direct sales motion with a Coimbatore-based sales team reachable via phone, email, and WhatsApp Business, supported by a detailed website catalog. Application focus spans food processing, beverage, dairy, spices, grains, snacks, edible oil, pharmaceutical powders, granules, and liquids, chemical and fertilizer packaging, and paper and wood bundling. The company reports export operations into Middle East and African countries, alongside its domestic Indian market. Ownership is founder-led under Managing Director Senthil Kumar, with no external investors, parent company, or subsidiary relationships identified, and a stated headcount of 51–100 employees consolidated across an office and a manufacturing facility, both in Coimbatore.
