Alimac Group is a global company specializing in the design, manufacture, and sale of adhesive tape carry handles and other secondary packaging solutions. Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Gerenzano, Italy, the company has established itself as a worldwide leader in its niche. The firm serves over 500 clients, including major Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) brands, across the food and beverage, tissue and hygiene, and home care markets.
The company's business model is built on a vertically integrated production process, managing everything in-house from film extrusion and the creation of proprietary adhesives to the final lamination and spooling. This control over the entire manufacturing cycle allows for high-quality standards and customization to meet specific client needs. Alimac Group's core product is the self-adhesive tape carry handle, designed to make multipacks and bulky items easier for consumers to lift and transport. They offer a variety of handle solutions, including traditional in-line tapes that are laminated at the client's facility and pre-laminated, all-in-one versions. These products are sold in large reels for use with automated application machinery.
Alimac Group places a strong emphasis on sustainability, focusing on developing solutions that reduce plastic content, enhance recyclability, and use materials like post-consumer recycled content and bio-based materials. The company actively collaborates with clients and equipment manufacturers to innovate, for instance by creating thinner films that reduce plastic usage without compromising strength. With a global presence spanning five continents and manufacturing sites in Italy and Germany, the company has grown through strategic acquisitions, such as NRG Tapes, to strengthen its international distribution and market position.
