What Berlin Packaging Italy does

Berlin Packaging Italy S.p.A., headquartered in Trezzano sul Naviglio (Milan), is the EMEA headquarters of Berlin Packaging LLC, a Chicago-based parent described as the world's largest Hybrid Packaging Supplier. The company supplies glass, plastic, and metal packaging and closures — along with custom design and prototyping services — across food and beverage, beauty and personal care, healthcare, industrial, flexible, and dangerous-goods end markets. The Italian legal entity operates under VAT IT01746490158 and is subject to management and coordination of Berlin Packaging LLC; it serves as the EMEA hub for a network spanning 16 countries, 50+ sites, 1,000+ EMEA employees (and 2,100 globally), 900+ suppliers, and 550,000+ m2 of warehouse capacity.

The company operates a hybrid business model combining direct enterprise field sales, inside sales and customer service teams, and seven branded e-commerce webshops (LeParfait.com, Thepackstock.eu, Stocksmetic.com, ThePackStock.com, Dutchcoffeepack.com, Alpack.ie, Rixius.com). Pricing is quote-based rather than transactional e-commerce. Proprietary technology includes the patented Cheertainer® Bag-in-Box system (cubic inner-bag design enabling up to 99.9% product dispensing), Vinolok glass closures, and the Airglass Refill & Go airless cosmetic jar system. The Studio One Eleven division provides custom packaging design services, and sustainability is structured around the CORE framework (Circularity, Optimization, Reuse & Refill, Environmental Services), with SBTi-verified emissions targets.

The company has grown aggressively through M&A, completing five acquisitions since 2020: Pentapackaging (Italy, 2020), Repli (Spain, 2020), Bark Packaging Group (Northern Europe, 2022), Rixius AG (Germany, 2025), and BlueSky (UK, 2026). It holds extensive certifications including ISO 9001/14001/45001/22000, FSSC 22000, BRCGS Storage/Distribution/Agents, NSF, LEED Gold (EMEA HQ), and BREEAM, and participates in industry bodies such as RecyClass, UN Global Compact, SBTi, EcoVadis (Silver Medal 2025, top 15%), Sedex, APR, Cetie, and the Italian Institute of Packaging.
