Audion packaging machines

What Audion packaging machines does

Audion Packaging Machines (legal entity Audion Elektro B.V.) is a privately held, family-owned Dutch manufacturer of industrial packaging machinery, founded in 1947 in Amsterdam and now headquartered in Weesp, Netherlands. The company designs and builds a broad equipment portfolio centered on the Speedpack line of automatic baggers (Speedpack 400 Hybrid, 400 High Speed Industry, 550 Orderfulfillment, 550 Dual), supported by industrial sealers (including the ISMSK IP65-rated Stainless Steel Sealmaster), vacuum packing systems with modified atmosphere packaging, band sealers, L-sealers and shrink packers, vertical form-fill-seal machines (AVM 190, AVM 200 Paper), tray sealers, and table-top sealers. Its defensible technical asset is a patent-pending hybrid film technology that allows a single platform to run both tubular film and pre-opened bags on roll, complemented by the Touch Techware software stack and ERP-integrated coding.

The business serves four primary vertical segments: life science and healthcare (validatable packaging for medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and cleanroom applications), order fulfillment and e-commerce (Speedpack baggers for mid- to high-volume fulfillment), food (vacuum, MAP, and tray-seal solutions for shelf-life extension), and industrial manufacturing (parts protection, cleanroom packaging). Customers include consumer brands (Nestle), sportswear (Nike), industrial OEMs (John Deere, ASML, BMW), logistics providers (DHL), and named e-commerce operators (Wehkamp, Voetbalshop, PassaSports, Activeants, Badge Group).

Audion monetizes through capital equipment sales, recurring consumables (SpeedBags, paper SpeedBags, tubular film, vacuum bags, shrink film, stretch film, medical paper rolls), spare parts, and service. Equipment is sold via quotation through a direct international sales team and a dealer network covering more than 65 countries, with direct shipping limited to the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, and the UK. Consumables and spare parts are also sold through an e-commerce webshop. Manufacturing is concentrated in two plants in Kleve, Germany, with the UK operation focused on sales.
