Multivac

Multivac

Multivac is the definitive name in integrated packaging and processing solutions, synonymous with precision, hygiene, and German engineering excellence. The company’s origins date back to 1961, when Sepp Haggenmüller built his first vacuum chamber machine in a garage in the Allgäu region of Germany. From this modest start, Multivac has evolved into a global powerhouse with over 80 subsidiaries and a presence in more than 140 countries, yet it remains firmly family-owned and committed to its manufacturing roots in Wolfertschwenden While best known as the undisputed authority in thermoforming packaging, with the world’s largest installed base of such machines.  Today, its portfolio spans upstream processing (slicing and portioning), primary packaging, inspection, labelling, and downstream automation, offering end-to-end solutions for the food, medical, and industrial sectors.

Advanced Packaging & Processing Solutions

Multivac’s competitive advantage lies in its ability to supply modular, scalable, and connected systems that cover the entire production lifecycle. Whether for a small artisan butcher or a high-speed industrial line, Multivac equipment is engineered according to “Hygienic Design” principles, ensuring maximum food safety, cleanability, and operational longevity.

Key Product Categories

• Chamber Vacuum Machines: The industry standard for vacuum packing in hospitality and retail. Ranging from compact C-Series tabletop units to large double-chamber P-Series floor models/.
• Thermoforming Packaging Machines (R-Series & X-line): The core of Multivac’s expertise. These machines form, fill, seal, and cut packs directly from film rolls.
• Traysealers (T-Series): Automated systems for sealing pre-made trays with MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) or Vacuum Skin Packaging (VSP).
• Slicing & Portioning: Through its own S-Series slicers (such as the high-speed S 1600) and strategic partnerships (including with Handtmann and TVI).
• Sustainable Packaging Concepts: Multivac is leading the shift away from plastics with solutions like PaperBoard, which allows operators to run recyclable fibre-based materials on standard thermoformers and traysealers, reducing plastic consumption by up to 85% while maintaining shelf-life performance.

Why Choose Multivac?

Multivac is the investment choice for operators who view packaging as a critical quality assurance step rather than just a utility.

• Proven Reliability: Machines are built for continuous 24/7 industrial operation, featuring heavy-duty stainless steel frames and components.
• One-Stop Solution: Multivac can integrate the entire line, ensuring seamless compatibility.
• Digital Intelligence: With Smart Services, operators benefit from real-time performance monitoring, OEE analysis, and remote diagnostics.
• Future-Proof Flexibility: Systems are designed to adapt. An R-Series thermoformer installed today can be retooled to run sustainable paper films tomorrow.
