What Acti Pack S.A.S. does

Acti Pack S.A.S. is a French manufacturer of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles and jars, founded in 1992 by Robert and Yves Cury, headquartered in Saint-Etienne (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes). The company produces standard and customized rigid plastic packaging using Injection Stretch Blow Molding (ISBM) in hot cycle, operating 44+ ISBM presses and more than 60 preform types, with a finished-container size range of 10–5,000 ml and neck diameters of 13–110 mm. Differentiated capabilities include Hot Fill technology (suitable for filling up to 85°C for pasteurized products), eco-design with up to 100% recycled PET (RPET) integration, and weight reductions of 15–50% versus comparable glass or earlier-generation PET packaging.

Its commercial model is project-based B2B hardware sales: the firm sells through a dedicated in-house sales department supported by exclusive agents throughout Europe, with quote-based pricing per project rather than published price lists. Revenue is heavily concentrated in Personal Care/Health & Beauty (69% of turnover), Food (27%), and Leisure/Miscellaneous (4%). End-application use cases span shower gels, shampoos, sun care, spices, chocolate spread, cold sauces, mushrooms, pasteurized sauces/jams, and DIY/cleaning products.

Following the 2021 opening of a 22,000 sqm consolidated Saint-Etienne production plant co-located with sister company Loire Plastic Industrie, the firm operates four European production sites: France (HQ), Czech Republic (ACTI PACK CZ, established 2001), Germany (KKT Kaller-Kunststofftechnik GmbH, acquired July 2016), and Italy (Silte Srl, acquired November 2023). In January 2025, Acti Pack and its subsidiaries were brought under the SGT Group umbrella via SGT's acquisition of parent Axium Packaging, enabling integrated supply of PET container plus closure systems. Certifications include ISO 9001, FSSC 22000, LNE MRP (recycled plastic incorporation), Ecovadis Bronze (2025), CDP SME Climate B Score (2024), and the MORE Label from Polyvia (7th consecutive year in 2025).
