Frimaq

What Frimaq does

Frimaq (legally FRIMAQ PACKAGING S.L.) designs and manufactures industrial packaging machinery for food and non-food processors, with a portfolio spanning thermoformers (TFF Star, TFF Compact, TFF Max, and a Custom Line), heat sealers (Maxi Skin +40, TSA 826), vacuum chamber machines across the VA and VCC series, shrink wrapping and drying systems (AI 900, AI 630, ACA 900, DRY 900), and a set of production-line accessories including jumbo coil handling, labeling, unstacking, and alignment modules. The underlying technology covers vacuum packaging, thermoforming, skin packaging, MAP (modified atmosphere packaging), and heat sealing, with proprietary features such as Soft Air Technology, Dual Vacuum Control (percentage- and time-based programming), a High-Security Sealing System for products containing fats or liquids, servomotor-controlled chamber elevation, 180mm deep forming, and Skin +40 packaging for products protruding up to 40mm above the tray. Output rates of up to 12 cycles per minute on the TFF Max and 8 cycles per minute on the TFF Star reflect a positioning oriented toward continuous, high-throughput industrial lines.

The company is the customer-facing brand of an industrial group headquartered in Lorca, Murcia, Spain, which includes two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tecselor, S.L. (industrial machinery manufacturing) and Tofilm Packaging, S.L. (technical packaging materials), giving the group vertical reach over machinery, engineering, packaging materials, logistics and technical service across more than 12,000 m² of facilities with over 120 professionals (the Frimaq entity itself is reported at 11–50 employees). Frimaq applies a vertical segmentation strategy, targeting meat and poultry, fish and seafood, cheese and dairy, prepared dishes, medical, and non-food processors, and reaches end customers through direct field sales representatives in Spain and a network of authorized distributors in over 50 countries who provide local technical assistance, certified technician support, and spare-parts logistics. Revenue is generated through quote-based hardware sales of capital equipment, custom engineering projects under the Custom Line solution, and aftermarket technical service and spare parts, with all machinery built in AISI 304 stainless steel and intended for industrial-scale food and non-food packaging lines.
