APACK at interpack Düsseldorf 2026: Presenting Complete Food Packaging Line Solutions

interpack Düsseldorf, the world’s leading trade fair for packaging technology, provides APACK with a strategic platform to present its food packaging machinery portfolio to global food manufacturers, contract packers, and pharmaceutical companies. As a manufacturer serving both food and medical fields with machines that have ISO22000 Food Packaging Compliance Certification and ISO13485 Medical Devices certification, APACK will showcase its thermoforming, MAP, skin packaging, and tray sealing solutions. The company’s presence at interpack focuses on demonstrating line integration capability, changeover efficiency, and regulatory compliance — critical requirements for production managers and capital investment decision-makers evaluating packaging equipment for multi-year production line planning.

Packaging Technologies: Thermoforming, MAP, Skin, Cardboard, and Tray Sealing

APACK offers a comprehensive portfolio of food packaging technologies serving diverse product categories and preservation requirements:

Thermoforming Machines : Forming packaging from plastic rolls, filling product, and sealing with film — ideal for portion packs, ready meals, meat, cheese, and processed foods requiring consistent package dimensions and high-volume production.

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) : Replaces ambient air inside the package with a protective gas mixture (typically nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and oxygen) to extend shelf life by slowing microbial growth and oxidation — essential for fresh meat, fish, produce, and prepared foods.

Skin Packaging : Thin film tightly conforms to the product and backing card, eliminating air pockets and creating a secure, vacuum-sealed appearance — ideal for fresh meat, seafood, and specialty foods requiring premium presentation.

Cardboard Packaging : Solutions for paperboard-based packaging, serving the growing demand for sustainable, fiber-based packaging alternatives to plastic.

Tray Sealing Machines : Sealing pre-formed trays with film lids for ready meals, fresh produce, meat, and deli products — offering flexibility for product changeovers and varying package sizes.

This multi-technology portfolio enables APACK to serve as a complete packaging partner rather than a single-machine supplier — reducing vendor complexity for food manufacturers seeking integrated line solutions.

APACK’s Core Philosophy: Natural Food Preservation Without Preservatives

APACK’s founding philosophy centers on a critical food industry challenge: preserving the most natural form of food without chemical preservatives while maintaining taste, nutritional quality, and shelf life. As the company states: “We are dedicated to present the most natural form of the food without the use of preservatives while preserving the taste and nutritional quality of the food.” Since its founding in 2005, APACK has focused on providing right solutions to client needs with the longest possible shelf life and minimum cost — balancing preservation requirements with operational economics.

Modern packaging technologies enable food production and packaging without any need for chemicals: “Thanks to our present technologies you may produce and pack the food without any need for any chemicals. Simply choose the correct business partner who will supply the correct technology and service.”

Research and Development: University Collaborations and Global Scientific Network

APACK carries out regular R&D work by collaborating with scientific research institutions, universities, and R&D laboratories worldwide. To date, hundreds of scientists and technical staff from different countries have been involved in APACK’s research initiatives, implementing solutions globally. This R&D commitment ensures APACK’s packaging technologies incorporate the latest advances in food preservation, material science, and machine efficiency.

The company’s nonstop R&D approach is summarized in its philosophy: “Nonstop Research & Development to make always better…” For international food manufacturers and packaging buyers, APACK’s R&D investment signals a supplier committed to continuous improvement rather than static product offerings.

Certifications: ISO 9001, ISO 22000, ISO 13485, ISO 45001, CE

APACK maintains comprehensive certification portfolio appropriate for both food and medical packaging applications:

ISO 9001:2015 — Quality Management : Demonstrates ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. All requirements are applicable to APACK regardless of type, size, or products and services provided.

ISO 22000 — Food Safety Quality Management : Food safety standard developed to identify and meet increasing international needs for food safety across the global supply chain. Valid for all types of food manufacturers, providing assurance in global food supply chains and helping products cross borders.

ISO 13485 — Medical Devices Quality Management : Specifies requirements for quality management systems for organizations providing medical devices and related services. APACK holds this certification for its medical packaging capabilities, demonstrating ability to meet customer and applicable regulatory requirements for medical device packaging.

ISO 45001 — Health and Safety (OHS) Quality Management : Specifies requirements for occupational health and safety management systems, enabling safe and healthy workplaces by preventing work-related injuries and illnesses.

CE Certificate — European Conformity : All APACK machines are entitled to CE documentation based on brand/model. Each machine model has a certificate of conformity with individual CE standards, indicating compliance with European safety, health, and environmental protection requirements — required for free circulation within the European Economic Area.

As APACK notes: “Although we are not obliged to some certifications as a machine manufacturer, we decided to acquire them to provide comfort to our customers in their inspections and accreditations.” For international food and pharmaceutical companies, APACK’s certifications reduce supplier qualification burden and accelerate procurement approvals.

Both Food and Medical Packaging Capabilities: ISO 22000 and ISO 13485 Certified

APACK machines can pack in both food and medical fields — a dual-capability differentiator. The company holds ISO22000 Food Packaging Compliance Certificate for food applications and ISO13485 certification for medical device packaging. This dual certification enables APACK to serve:

Food manufacturers : Requiring food safety compliance, preservation effectiveness, and retail-ready packaging presentation.

Medical device and pharmaceutical companies : Requiring validated packaging processes, cleanability, and regulatory documentation for sterile or non-sterile medical packaging.

For contract packers and multi-industry manufacturers, APACK’s dual-certified status simplifies supplier consolidation — one machinery supplier serving both food and medical packaging lines with appropriate certifications.

Integrated Packaging Offering: Machinery Plus Rigid Packaging Products and Specialty Films

Beyond manufacturing packaging machinery and turn-key packaging solutions, APACK also offers a variety of rigid packaging products as part of a complete packaging system, including portion-size packaging, specialty films, and sophisticated rollstock materials for a wide range of applications. This integrated offering enables APACK to serve as a single-source packaging partner — supplying both the forming machinery and the packaging materials required to run it.

Company Heritage: Abdullah Şen, Founder, and Muharrem Demir Legacy

APACK was founded by Abdullah Şen, who continues to serve as General Manager. The company’s development and presented solutions were significantly shaped by Muharrem Demir, described as “the beautiful person who, with his sweat and signature, is behind everything APACK presented to you and the world.” Following Demir’s passing in a traffic accident on January 5, 2017, APACK continues its existence with the strategy Demir developed over years, adding value to the industry while maintaining the communication network that everyone finds exemplary.

APACK’s corporate statement reflects this heritage: “APACK, with the strategy that took Muharrem years to develop, will continue its existence adding value to our industry. We will keep the communication network, that everyone finds exemplary and willingly participates, alive. APACK thanks our friends many times over for sharing this life with us. We will continue together to add value to our world.”

Key company metrics: Since 2005, APACK has grown to serve leading domestic and foreign companies worldwide, providing packaging equipment needs and technical support through its innovative, flexible, professional and comprehensive approach.
