What Apack Packaging Technologies does

APACK Packaging Technologies (legal name: APACK Ambalaj Makine Sanayi ve Tic.Ltd.Sti.) is a privately held Turkish manufacturer of food and medical packaging machinery, headquartered in Ataşehir, Istanbul. Founded in 1995, the company initially acted as a sales and marketing agent for European-made packaging machines before transitioning in 2006 to in-house design and manufacturing of its own branded equipment. APACK's portfolio comprises 25 models across 8 categories, including MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) semi-automatic and fully automatic tray sealers (MAP25 and autoMAP series), thermoforming packaging lines (perFORMA 300/400/500 and MEDICAL), a jar sealer (autoSEAL-JS230), an eco-focused compact tray sealer (ecoSEAL-100Mini), and desktop units (TableTOP20, DOT S Seal, DOT SC Seal and Cut), together with proprietary packaging films. The company is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 22000, ISO 45001, holds CE marking, and complies with EU MDR for its medical product lines.

The company's primary customer segments are food manufacturers (convenience foods, fresh and processed meats, seafood, dairy, salads, bakery, olives, dried foods and nuts) and medical/healthcare packagers (surgical gowns, test kits, consumables, sterile products, surgical supplies). APACK sells through a sales-led, direct enterprise motion, offering turn-key solutions that bundle machinery, films, training, maintenance, repair, and spare parts. Its export business spans more than 60 countries via direct ex-works sales from Istanbul and international distributor/representative networks, with multilingual support in English, Turkish, French, and Russian. Founder and General Manager Abdullah Şen leads a roughly 22-person organization across R&D, production, automation/service, sales and marketing, and purchasing functions, with the firm describing its team as a long-tenured 'family' unit.

With ~22 employees and no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or revenue figures, APACK is a small but specialized niche manufacturer operating in a market dominated by larger European industrial packaging machinery groups. Its strategic posture is product-led differentiation in MAP, skin, and thermoforming technologies for food and medical applications, supported by ISO/EU MDR certifications and a reference-driven sales motion, with recent 2025 product introductions (MAP25 ROTARY and JS230 EXL) targeting higher-throughput production environments.
