Overview
Established in 1961, IMA is world leader in the development and production of automatic machines for the processing and packaging of pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, tea and coffee products, as well as in the automation of industrial processes.
A leadership acquired thanks to significant investments in research and development, a constant and constructive dialogue with end-users of the reference sectors, to the capability of the Group to internationalise and conquer new markets. Its history is in fact characterised by constant growth, also thanks to the work of highly skilled people working within it, and to a certified, reliable supply chain.
The IMA Group closed the year 2024 with consolidated revenues of around 2.3 billion euros and an export share of around 87,6%.
The Group chaired by Alberto Vacchi counts more than 7,400 employees, of which about 3,000* abroad, and it is present in about 80 countries, supported by a commercial network composed of branches with sales and support services in Europe, Middle East, North and Latin America, Asia and representative offices in Central and Eastern Europe and more than 140 agencies.
The Group relies on 55 production facilities (between Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, United Kingdom, United States, India, Malaysia, China and Argentina) and it holds more than 3,500 active patents and patent applications worldwide.
IMA S.p.A. has been listed on the Milan stock exchange from 1995 until January 2021.
The main Groupâs shareholders are the heirs of the Vacchi family, which have preserved the majority of actions and the merchant bank BDT & MSD Partners.
In more than 60 years of activity, IMA has built highly qualifying values, such as experience, reliability, the capillary presence in the global market and the proven ability to respond to end userâs needs, which now allow the Company to offer several innovative solutions other than many high-quality products.
IMA considers its commitment to sustainability to be of primary importance, with particular reference to peopleâs quality of life, fighting climate change, and reducing the environmental impact of packaging and industrial processes in general.
