What Statpack does

Statpack Industries Limited is a Kenyan-headquartered industrial packaging solutions distributor and integrator serving East-Central Africa since 1989. The company combines distribution of globally manufactured packaging machinery brands (LINX coding and marking, ZANASI industrial printing, SIAT strapping tools, Minebea weighing and inspection, ABRO household and auto-care) with a proprietary consumer-facing food packaging line under the Statwrap brand (cling films, aluminium foil, biodegradable cling films, greaseproof paper, parchment paper, and white butcher paper). Statpack organizes its portfolio into ten solution categories spanning taping, wrapping, strapping, flexible packaging, conveyors, weighing and inspection, marking and coding, food packaging, paper cores and tubes, and household/auto-care.

Its underlying technology stack is industrial rather than digital: it integrates servo-controlled VFFS machines (up to 108 strokes per minute), PLC-based automated lines, water-activated carton sealers, minebea X-ray and metal detection units, and cloud-enabled LINX PrinterNet for remote printer management, plus branded custom laminates and shrink sleeves for primary and secondary packaging. Statpack holds ISO 9001:2015 (SGS) and BRCGS (Intertek) certifications as procurement credentials for food, dairy, and pharmaceutical customers.

The business model is B2B industrial sales of both capital equipment and consumables on a quote-based, consultative pricing model — there are no published price lists, and sales run through direct regional offices in Nairobi (HQ), Mombasa, Kampala, and Dar es Salaam with field-sales account management rather than e-commerce. Revenue streams are: (1) packaging materials sales (films, tapes, strapping rolls), (2) packaging machinery sales and distribution, and (3) custom design and branding services for laminates, shrink sleeves, and branded tapes. Customer segments span ten verticals — dairy, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, automotive, agriculture, wire and cables, pet food, meat and poultry, household, and distributor/retail — with named enterprise customers including Regal Pharmaceuticals (2021 Celebration Award) and Sunveat (2022 Partnership Award). The company also distributes Statwrap cling films through Carrefour Kenya, indicating a small but present consumer-retail channel.
