IMA Spa – one of the packaging giants
When we talk about packaging, it is impossible not to mention the company IMA (acronym for “Industria Macchine Automatiche”), one of the leaders in the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic packaging sector. Founded in 1961 in the province of Bologna (in the famous “Packaging Valley”), IMA began to build machines to make tea bags, then diversified into the pharmaceutical field, designing its first blister packaging machine in the 1970s. After opening several branches in Europe, IMA acquires other companies in the pharmaceutical sector, such as Zanasi, Farmomac or CMS, and then moves from the state of company to the state of industrial group. Over the years, IMA has continued to acquire other companies, thus reinforcing its status.
Today IMA group has 29 branches, 41 production plants, 5600 employees (of which 2,600 outside Italy), and 80 countries covered by the sales network. Export represents 88% of its annual turnover.
Automatic packaging machines
IMA designs, develops and manufactures different types of machines, from the packaging of liquid products to solid or powder products, for different sectors of activity and from the process to primary packaging, up to secondary packaging.
Each “IMA Division” deals with a speecific sector of activity, if we take, for example, the pharmaceutical sector, we have:
- IMA Active which focuses on process machines for solid forms such as tablet presses.
- IMA Life offers both primary packaging and secondary packaging machines for liquids.
- IMA Safe is the one that offers the widest range of packaging machines for the pharmaceutical sector: blister machines, thermoforming machines, counters, tube filling machines and cartoning machines.
