Ampack GmbH

What Ampack GmbH does

Ampack GmbH is a German manufacturer of aseptic filling and packaging machines for liquid and viscous food products, founded in 1973 and headquartered in Königsbrunn, Bavaria. The company operates as a subsidiary of the Ceratech Gruppe and employs 41 people. Its core technology centers on H₂O₂ (hydrogen peroxide) sterilization for packaging materials and lids, combined with double-chamber aseptic tunnel designs and fully automatic Clean-in-Place / Sterilize-in-Place (CIP/SIP) systems. The product portfolio comprises four machine lines — FCL (aseptic cup filling, 8,000–60,000 cups/h), LFS (clean/UltraClean cup filling, 7,000–20,000 cups/h), TFA (aseptic thermoforming for cups, 8,000–50,400 cups/h), and FBL (aseptic bottle filling, 8,000–36,000 bottles/h at 50–1,500 ml) — plus a certified used-machinery channel for pre-owned equipment.

The company sells customized capital equipment directly to enterprise food manufacturers through a field-sales model, with no resellers or distributors. Revenue streams combine one-time machine sales with recurring service income from spare parts, multi-year maintenance contracts (1-, 2-, and 3-year tiers with 10–20% discounts), technical support with VPN-enabled remote diagnostics, modernization/retrofit packages (including PPWR-compliance upgrades), training, and in-house laboratory feasibility studies. Ampack serves dairy and plant-based processors, drinks-to-go manufacturers, baby food and clinical nutrition producers, and delicatessen/dip makers. With more than 1,600 machines installed across all continents and over 50 years of operating history, the company is positioned as a niche technology leader in aseptic filling for highly sensitive food categories.
