IMA FLX Hub is the Flexible Packaging Hub of the IMA Group, bringing together technologies, expertise, and manufacturing excellence to deliver advanced flexible packaging machines and fully integrated production lines. Conceived as a unified technological ecosystem, the Hub connects primary, secondary, and end-of-line processes to provide seamless solutions for the Food, Pharma, Wet Wipes, and Pet Food industries.
By combining the strengths of IMA Ilapak, IMA Record, IMA Delta Systems, IMA Eurosicma, IMA Fillshape, and IMA Tecmar, the Hub offers one of the most comprehensive portfolios in the global flexible packaging market. Its capabilities range from horizontal and vertical form-fill-seal technologies (HFFS and VFFS) to stand-up pouch systems, stick pack and sachet solutions, pouch filling equipment, advanced feeding and dosing technologies, counting and weighing systems, and a wide variety of bagging solutions.
In the food sector, IMA FLX Hub supports a broad spectrum of applications, including bakery, biscuits, chocolate and confectionery, fresh produce, cheese, IQF products, meat and poultry, snacks, and pet food.
A defining strength of the Hub is its ability to engineer and deliver complete turnkey packaging lines. These fully integrated systems cover the entire process—from product feeding and handling to wrapping, bagging, pouching, case packing, palletizing, and end-of-line automation. By integrating multiple technologies within a single ecosystem, IMA FLX Hub simplifies operations, reduces system complexity, and enhances overall production efficiency.
Digitalization plays a central role in this vision. Advanced connectivity, real-time diagnostics, and data analytics provide greater operational visibility, enable predictive maintenance, and support continuous improvement of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), empowering manufacturers with smarter and more responsive production management.
IMA FLX Hub solutions support a wide range of flexible packaging formats, including flow wraps, pillow and block-bottom bags, quad-seal bags, stand-up and shaped pouches, stick packs, sachets, and four-side-seal packs. Additional capabilities include Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), vacuum packaging, high-speed multi-lane stick and sachet production, and fully automated Doy-pouch lines.
Sustainability is a key priority. Machines are designed to process recyclable and next-generation materials, helping customers meet evolving environmental requirements while maintaining high performance and product integrity.
With a global team and a strong customer-centric approach, IMA FLX Hub acts as a long-term technological partner, combining innovation, integration, and sustainability to set a new benchmark in flexible packaging.
