Bopak

What Bopak does

Bopak SARL is a French industrial equipment integrator founded in 2019 and headquartered in Semur-en-Auxois, Burgundy. The company supplies and integrates packaging and filling machines for low to medium production cadences (5-130 packs/min), serving SMEs and multinationals across the agri-food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and detergent industries. Its portfolio spans rigid and semi-rigid containers (cans, buckets, bottles, flasks, tubes) as well as flexible sachets and Doypacks, sourced through integration agreements with internationally recognized manufacturers: Autopack and Polypack (shrink-wrap bundlers), Linapack (Doypack fillers featuring the Air Base transparent chassis), Shemesh Automation (linear fillers with ±0.25% dosing accuracy), Prisma (checkweighers and metal detectors), and Eco Stable (anti-slip palletizing glue).

The business model is project-based capital equipment sales with quote-based pricing, supplemented by after-sales service, spare parts, and machine audits; since May 2024, Bopak is the sole official relay for Polypack Europe service support. Differentiation rests on a simple, robust design philosophy using European-standard components (Siemens, Festo, SMC, SEW, Omron), all-stainless-steel compact construction, and rapid 6-20 week delivery versus industry norms. The company also holds proprietary IP in three branded innovations: BoSlim'Wrap (10-20% carton surface reduction), Shake It (worldwide patent for self-heating/cooling Doypack), and Drink Safe (patented hygienic bi-layer lid for can tops). Go-to-market is sales-led via website callback requests, with project studies committed within 24-72 hours, supported by trade show participation (ALL4PACK 2022), a Capital magazine feature (Feb 2024), and a YouTube/newsletter content presence.

Operationally, Bopak is a micro-enterprise of 1-10 employees with €25,000 share capital and no disclosed external funding. Scale claims reference the cumulative installed base of represented partner brands — 6,900+ machines worldwide including 3,500+ Autopack units, 10,000+ Prisma weighers, and 700+ European food-packaging installations — rather than Bopak's own revenue. The company is founder/owner-operated, with Jean-Philippe Henriet identified as the legal representative and data protection officer.
