Wipak

Founded in 1966, Wipak is a packaging company serving food and healthcare applications. It describes its work as providing safe, sustainable packaging designed around customers’ products, processes, and goals. The company presents itself as more than a packaging supplier, emphasizing technical guidance, development support, and collaboration across the packaging value chain. Wipak’s food packaging range includes films, pouches, and packs for applications such as meat, fish and poultry, cheese and dairy, bread, biscuits and cake, pet food, and baby food. Its healthcare packaging is intended to help maintain the safety and sterility of medical devices and supplies through transport and storage. The company also identifies branded offerings including GreenChoice by Wipak, a range of sustainability-oriented packaging films; DigitalChoice by Wipak, which supports identification, sorting, traceability, and compliance-related functions; and Wiicare, for protecting medical devices. Its About page also names Steriking Wrap as an offering. Wipak is part of the family-owned Wihuri Group. Its stated international footprint includes production plants in China, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and the United Kingdom, alongside sales offices in several European and Asian markets. The company says it has more than 1,800 employees, 11 production plants, and operations in 18 countries. It offers services such as sustainability consulting, technical field support, and product development and testing through its N.E.X.T. Innovation Centre. Sustainability is a prominent part of Wipak’s current positioning. The company describes work on recyclable packaging design, use of recycled or renewable materials, and support for customers’ sustainability goals. It states a commitment to reduce its product-related CO₂ footprint by 50% by 2030. Wipak remains active as a global packaging business, with food and healthcare solutions as its main application areas.

Innovation Centre, which supports design, testing, and scaling from concept toward market-ready packaging. Its stated approach includes understanding customers’ needs, co-creating solutions, supporting testing and validation, and optimizing performance and sustainability. The company’s present-day messaging places sustainability alongside product safety and technical performance. Wipak states that it is committed to reducing its product-related CO₂ footprint by 50% by 2030. Its sustainability glossary explains terminology used across its communications and packaging solutions, reflecting an emphasis on clear and qualified environmental claims.
