Consolidation of the Italian brands of Romaco: Production all located under one roof in Bologna

Romaco is consolidating its Italian production in Bologna. The plant in Rastignano has been reorganized and expanded for this purpose. Romaco Srl employs around 110 employees at the production site in Bologna.

Romaco is combining its two Italian production sites in Rastignano, Bologna. For this purpose the Italian Romaco brands Macofar, Promatic and Unipac were physically consolidated. From now on, Romaco Srl, the Italian subsidiary of the Romaco Group, will be located under one roof and centrally administered.

During the lead-up period, the packaging specialist's location in Rastignano had already been comprehensively renovated and expanded. In total, approximately 110 employees have 6,500 square meters at their disposal. The restructuring of the production site did not result in any staff cuts. In fact, the goal of the consolidation is to process the increasing volume of orders within the shortest possible time. With extensive investment and consistent implementation of “lean principles”, Romaco is optimizing its working processes and expanding its production capacity.

The primary and secondary packaging of pharmaceutical products and cosmetics are the core activities of the Italian brands of the Romaco Group. Macofar produces machines and full lines for filling liquids and powders, as well as capsules. Promatic has many years of know-how in the development of cartoning machines and case packers. And finally, Unipac has specialized in the filling of semi-solids into tubes.

“The consolidation and reorganization of Romaco Srl increases our efficiency and effectiveness as well as our flexibility,” explains Paolo Naldi, Managing Director of Romaco Srl at Rastignano. “The extensive investment in the common location will contribute significantly to improvement of our quality and supply capacity.”
