What EC Convert does
EC Convert (legal entity EC CONVERT ENGINEERING S.L.) is a Spanish industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 2020 and headquartered in Sant Julià de Ramis, Girona. The company designs and builds custom converting and packaging machinery for the flexible packaging industry, with a core portfolio of slitter rewinders (SLT2, SLT 250 PLUS, SLTK 100, SSR/SSRA, SRC, ECT 100), flex-pack converting lines (SRCL 165, SRF 110, SRL 140, HL 120), waste recovery/inspection machines (DTR series), perforation lines, and protective packaging equipment (PV 80, CP 200, WD 200). Its technology stack integrates Industry 4.0 data exchange, regenerative motors claimed to cut energy consumption by up to 60%, and advanced automation including laser perforation, semi-rotary die cutting, robotic palletizing, and vision-based defect detection. Each EC-Converter is custom-engineered to a client's process requirements rather than sold as standard catalog equipment.
The company's commercial model is a quote-based, multi-year project sale for each machine, complemented by its CONVERTSAT service division, which delivers spare parts, technical assistance (SAT), machinery repowering/upgrades for third-party OEM equipment (USIMECA, KMEC, CERUTTI, Enprom), technical training, and preventive maintenance. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with a heavy trade-show rotation (K 2025, DRUPA 2024, Andina Pack 2025, Hispack 2024, Expo Plast 2024, Colombiaplast 2024) supported by ICEX Spanish Pavilions, plus a website, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram presence. Named end customers include Plásticos del Segura / Grupo PDS in flexible packaging and Flexo Spring for technical training and repowering. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, holds the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation's PYME Innovadora (Innovative SME) seal, and is actively expanding into Latin American markets through EMSUR-led sustainable monomaterial partnerships.

EC Convert competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Mark Andy: US-based manufacturer of flexographic printing and converting equipment for labels and packaging. Comparable in its integration of printing, slitting, and finishing, though focused primarily on the label segment.
- SOMA: European manufacturer of flexographic printing presses and converting machinery for flexible packaging and labels. Highly comparable product portfolio, including slitter rewinders and CI flexo presses, serving similar converters.
- Gallus: Swiss manufacturer of label printing and converting presses with growing focus on flexible packaging applications. Overlaps with EC Convert on the multi-process converting proposition for label and packaging converters.
- Nilpeter: Danish manufacturer of flexographic and digital label presses with converting modules. Comparable in the converting machinery space, particularly for label and packaging converters requiring integrated production.
- Uteco: Italian manufacturer of flexographic and gravure presses, laminators, and converting lines for flexible packaging. Closely comparable product offering centered on multi-process converting machinery for the same customer base.
- Comexi: Spanish-headquartered manufacturer of flexographic printing, laminating, coating, and slitting/converting machinery for the flexible packaging industry. Direct competitor offering a similar multi-process converting portfolio with a stronger global footprint.
Emerging players
- HP Indigo: Digital press division of HP serving labels and flexible packaging converters. Adjacent competitor in the packaging converting space via digital printing, increasingly relevant as packaging moves toward shorter runs and customization.
Broad incumbents
- BOBST: Swiss global leader in packaging and converting machinery, including gravure, flexo, coating, laminating, and slitting equipment. Operates far more broadly than EC Convert and competes in larger enterprise tenders.
- Koenig & Bauer: German manufacturer of printing and converting machinery with diversified packaging and paper converting offerings. A broad incumbent competing in adjacent converting equipment categories.
- BHS Corrugated: Global leader in corrugated converting machinery. Adjacent rather than direct: it serves the corrugated packaging segment rather than flexible packaging, but operates in the broader industrial converting machinery category.
