Gaasch Packaging

What Gaasch Packaging does

Gaasch Packaging is a Belgian B2B distributor of primary packaging products, founded in 1906 as a family business and headquartered in Mollem, Belgium, with wholly-owned subsidiaries in Luxembourg (Windhof) and the United Kingdom (Glasgow, focused on wines and spirits). The company sells more than 4,000 stock-keeping units across glass and plastic bottles, jars, closures, caps, pipettes, and dispensing systems, serving customers in five industry verticals: beverages, food, personal care, pharma, and cleaning & industry. The product offering is sourced from multiple independent glass and plastic manufacturers — not tied to a single production range — and is held in the company's own Belgian warehouse for just-in-time delivery via its own fleet.

Gaasch monetizes through one-time B2B sales of physical packaging on a quote-based, unit-pricing model with flexible minimum order quantities (MOQs) that accommodate both small KMO winemakers launching test series and large pharmaceutical or food producers requiring volume deliveries. The go-to-market motion is sales-led: named account managers (e.g., Johan Claes, Vanessa De Winne) handle inbound enquiries from the website contact form, supported by a self-serve online product catalogue (catalogue.gaaschpack.eu), content marketing in three languages, downloadable category-specific catalogues, and trade show participation at events such as Drinktec 2025 (Munich) and Vi-Tec!25 (Waregem). Value-added services include in-house decoration (embossing, screen printing, labeling, engraving, lacquering) and consulting on packaging selection, line compatibility, and regulatory documentation for PPWR and food-contact compliance.

The company is privately held with no parent or external investors referenced in the source material. Recent strategic emphasis has centered on sustainability positioning, evidenced by the 2025 EcoVadis Bronze medal (top 35% of sector), the June 2025 VCDO Charter membership, the June 2026 VCDO Certificate, the 2018 partnership with Friends of Glass, and the 2022 signing of the Green Deal Anders Verpakt. Gaasch is also associated with Packaging Alliance Europe SA, founded in September 2022 by Industrial Packaging Group SA and Treffpack Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH, which expanded into Luxembourg and Germany through the January 2024 acquisition of Mathis Prost.
