Global flexible packaging manufacturer with spouted pouches and injection molding
Gualapack manufactures premade spouted pouches, laminates, and injection-molded components for food, pharma, and consumer goods. The tech stack is dominated by industrial automation (PLC, Codesys, Allen-Bradley, EtherCAT, CANopen)—typical for a manufacturing operation—but the pain-point cluster around operational complexity and execution gaps suggests the company is working to modernize plant-floor coordination across its 11-country footprint. Near-term hiring is split between product, sales, and engineering roles at manager and senior levels, indicating both operational scaling and some product-development momentum.
Gualapack is a privately held manufacturer headquartered in Castellazzo Bormida, Italy, with operations in 11 countries. The company produces pre-made spouted pouches (Cheerpack CP and DP lines), high-performance laminates, caps, and filling machinery for baby food, snacks, pharmaceuticals, and adjacent segments. Pouches ship with integrated straws and separate caps for customer filling. The organization spans 1,001–5,000 employees and has positioned sustainability as a core growth and innovation driver. Current priorities include operational excellence across global plants, contract negotiation, and expansion into new customer segments and regional markets.
