Purpak Partner addition helps Interfood Technology grow bakery division
Interfood Technology has strengthened its bakery solutions division through a new partnership with Purpak, a specialist in flexible packaging equipment.
The collaboration is seen as a significant opportunity to enhance Interfood’s ability to provide advanced packaging solutions to bakery manufacturers across the UK and Ireland.
Part of the Pak Group, Purpak is known for its high-quality, technology-driven packaging machinery designed for efficiency and sustainability. Its range includes horizontal flow wrapping (HFFS) systems and vertical form, fill, and seal (VFFS) bagging machines, capable of handling diverse bakery products – from bread and pastries to biscuits and confectionery.
With a focus on flexibility, Purpak’s systems allow manufacturers to scale production, improve efficiency, and reduce waste while accommodating various pack sizes and formats.
The machinery supports an extensive selection of packaging materials, including PP/OPP, PE, paper, compostables, mono-materials, and laminates, offering bakeries sustainable and adaptable solutions.
Designed for ease of use, hygiene, and minimal downtime, Purpak’s equipment enables rapid, tool-free changeovers and is built for continuous operation in bakery production. Integrated Industry 4.0 features, such as real-time performance monitoring, predictive maintenance alerts, and remote diagnostics, enhance efficiency and reliability, helping bakeries optimise production speed and capacity in a rapidly evolving market.
With teams across the UK, USA, Italy, France, and Germany PurPak draws on decades of expertise in flow-wrapping and packaging technology.
Founded by industry experts with a long-standing history in the field, PurPak has built a reputation for delivering scalable packaging solutions tailored to businesses of all sizes, from small artisanal bakeries to large-scale industrial operations.
James Fitch, bakery divisional manager at Interfood Technology, noted Purpak’s expertise in packaging solutions and how it is reflected in the quality and reliability of their machinery.
“Their robust, user-friendly equipment, combined with smart technology and a strong commitment to innovation, aligns perfectly with our values at Interfood,” Fitch said of the business. “This partnership is an exciting step forward for our bakery solutions division, and we look forward to working together to help bakeries improve efficiency and adaptability.”
