What Cuki Cofresco does
Cuki Cofresco S.r.l. is an Italian food-packaging manufacturer that designs, produces and sells disposable containers, films, bags and wraps used to preserve, cook, freeze, prepare and serve food. The company operates from its Volpiano (Turin) headquarters and runs production at three plants in Frosinone (Italy), one plant in La Terrasse near Grenoble (France) and one plant in Istanbul (Turkey) via wholly-owned subsidiary Ilmak Makina, with a stated 124,000 m² of total production surface and 900+ moulds for aluminium-container forming.
Its core technology centres on three material platforms: aluminium (notable for the patented smoothwall container line, with FEM-tested gains of 17% in filling resistance, 40% in lateral-pressure resistance and 12% in longitudinal torsion versus prior models, and a fully recyclable mono-material); cellulose (cardboard with PET liner rated -20°C to +200°C, plus compostable baking-paper containers); and plastic (containers, cling film and freezer bags including the seven-layer Cuki Gelo Più). Across HoReCa and food-industry customers, the portfolio covers over 500 aluminium SKUs, Gastronorm plates, thermoboxes, Wrapmaster dispensers, and tailored industrial packaging formats including overwrapping, flowpack, tray lidding, tray skin, freezing and hot-filling solutions.
Revenue is generated through a hybrid B2B/B2C model. B2B sales flow through the dedicated Cuki Professional division to hotels, restaurants, caterers, and industrial food manufacturers across Italy, France and progressively wider Europe; B2C sales of consumer brands Cuki, Domopak, Domopak Living, Domopak Spazzy and Europack flow through mass-market retailers (GDO) and specialised channels, supplemented by the Cuki Store flagship at Volpiano. The company is wholly owned by the German Melitta Group and reported €215M of consolidated revenue for 2025 with 410 employees in Europe; share capital is stated at €20,000,000.
