For food processing, pharmaceutical production, fresh produce, meat, confectionery, and consumer goods industries, reliable and adaptable packaging automation is essential to maintain efficiency and regulatory compliance. ULMA Packaging has established its own subsidiary in India to provide direct commercial and technical support for automated packaging systems in one of Asia’s fastest-growing industrial regions.
The new subsidiary, officially opening in 2026, reinforces ULMA Packaging’s international growth strategy and its approach of building long-term local operations in key markets.
Strengthening packaging automation support in South Asia
The Indian subsidiary will serve customers in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. By operating locally, ULMA Packaging improves responsiveness in sales, commissioning, maintenance, and technical assistance for complete packaging solutions.
India has become a strategic market for automated packaging lines, driven by expanding food processing capacity, pharmaceutical manufacturing growth, and increasing demand for high-performance, flexible packaging systems. In these sectors, uptime, production efficiency, and rapid format changeover are decisive operational factors.
The local presence enables closer collaboration with manufacturers implementing automation and modernization projects, supporting integration of flow pack, thermoforming, tray sealing, and other packaging technologies adapted to regional production requirements.
Supporting long-term industrial development
The establishment of the subsidiary aligns with ULMA Packaging’s strategy of creating permanent local structures in growth markets. This model has already been implemented in other Asian regions to improve technical proximity and service continuity.
Local operations reduce response times for spare parts supply, system upgrades, and troubleshooting. They also facilitate adaptation of packaging equipment to specific regulatory requirements, hygiene standards, and operational constraints in different countries.
By providing direct access to engineering expertise and technical service teams, the subsidiary supports consistent implementation of automated packaging systems across diverse industrial environments.
Expanding Asia as a growth pillar
Asia represents a central component of ULMA Packaging’s global development strategy. The new Indian subsidiary strengthens the company’s ability to deliver complete packaging solutions with localized technical support while maintaining global engineering standards.
Through this expansion, ULMA Packaging enhances its capacity to accompany customers throughout the lifecycle of their packaging lines — from project planning and installation to optimization and long-term service — ensuring operational reliability in high-growth markets.
