Sacmi Group has revealed the launch of Sacmi packaging and chocolate, a new division which the company hopes will boost its historical brands, as part of new restructuring.
The new unit – which is the culmination of a process which started in 2002 when Sacmi acquired the Carle & Montanari company – includes four business units: process and moulding, primary packaging, secondary packaging, and wrapping.
The move sees the Carle & Montanari-OPM and CM-FIMA companies join the new division as Sacmi aims to add value to their products.
Carle & Montanari will operate the process and moulding unit, while FIMA will operate the wrapping division. OPM will manage the primary and secondary packaging unit.
Sacmi packaging and chocolate CEO Giovanni Campolungo said: “The establishment of the division and its clear subdivision according to type of business provide answers, on the one hand, to our need to be present in a more widespread and structured way in each of the business areas, while on the other, to our wish to confirm Sacmi Group’s strong commitment to this sector, allowing these companies, fully controlled by Sacmi, to improve their position in the global network.”
Italy-headquartered Sacmi said the strengths of the division include production expertise and deep knowledge of product and market, superior know-how in the field of chocolate production, and improved production skills and plants.
Campolungo added: “The integration of business structures within the group, each with its own specific expertise, allow the packaging and chocolate division to fulfil the Sacmi global network potential and seize all the opportunities offered by an industry that is currently in constant growth.”
