The Italian converter Safta, part of the GualapackGroup, renowned for the quality of its multi-layer laminates and tailor-made flexible packaging solutions, celebrates its 90-year anniversary.
In nearly a century, Safta established itself as a major producer of innovative high-performance films for advanced food and non-food consumer products, cosmetic, medical and pharmaceutical applications.
During this time, the company strived to continuously improve and adapt to changes in the market, meeting even the most critical requests, like chemical or mechanical resistance, hot filling and, since the mid Sixties, sterilization.

Success, however, brought also increasingly complex challenges pushing Safta to identify diversification options ahead of time to satisfy and better assist new demands and markets.
Besides, the company’s combined know-how, expertise, technologies and certified quality processes also aim at creating advanced packaging solutions and eco-friendly products, whilst reducing the environmental impact of its goods and activities.

Clearly, the company’s longstanding experience and dedication to innovation are fully directed towards customer service excellence and satisfaction.

“For a company like Safta to thrive for 90 years in our highly competitive market is a great achievement,” said Michele Guala, GualapackGroup CEO.

The focus on continual improvement through reinvention and reinvestment in Safta’s production equipment, products and above all employees, has been the key to its success and will continue to guide the company in the future.

It is this culture of stewardship that drives the company to continually improve processes, discover new efficiencies, and ultimately provide value for its customers.
To date, Safta has played a part in bringing hundreds of innovative leading brands’ products to the market in a variety of industries and to a number of different customers.
Congratulations Safta on nine decades in the business of flexible packaging excellence! The GualapackGroup, of which Safta is part since 2002, is the world leader of spouted pouches and filling machinery and a key global player of the flexible packaging industry.
To date, it operates with direct manufacturing sites in Europe (4), Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS, 1), Latin America (2) and through joint ventures in the USA (1) and the Far East (2).
