Leading finishing equipment manufacturer, the England-headquartered A B Graphic International (ABG), has launched a new division, ABG Flex Pack. The company says the move marks an exciting strategic step forward, expanding its expertise in lamination and finishing into this high-growth sector.
According to a post on ABG’s website, the company says it has many years of experience in the field, manufacturing thermal laminators, pouch finishing systems such as the Digicon 3000 and shrink sleeve machines that are installed in markets worldwide. ABG Flex Pack now consolidates this expertise into a dedicated division to deliver a complete, end-to-end packaging solution.
ABG Flex Pack combines three key pillars of innovation. First is the launch of a new ThermoLam product – a compact, modular thermal laminator that improves on previous models with better ergonomics, easier roll handling from the front and an optimized footprint for maximum efficiency.
Second is the addition of pouch-making solutions through an exclusive partnership with the Greater Noida-based Galaxy Packtech, which provides converters with access to proven, high-performance technology. And finally, a third innovation is on the horizon, set to further enhance the appeal and functionality of flexible packaging – details to be revealed later this year. Together, these innovations offer a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for the rapidly growing flexibles market.
Galaxy Packtech, a family-run business with 24 years of experience, over 2,000 installations worldwide and a 200-strong team of experts, is recognized as a global leader in pouch and bag-making machines. Their modular, solutions-focused equipment combines maximum performance, even in the most challenging conditions, with cost-effective, user-friendly designs, giving converters the flexibility and reliability needed to succeed. Through the partnership, ABG want to help their customers diversify in a changing market space with a partner they recognize, understand and trust.
ABG will provide exclusive distribution and service for Galaxy Packtech across Europe (including UK & Ireland), the Americas, Australasia, Japan and Israel.
Gaurav Sharma, chief marketing officer at Galaxy Packtech, said, “We chose to partner with ABG because of their reputation for innovation, high standards and comprehensive service support. We are both family run businesses with similar values and goals. Together, we’re able to bring converters a flexible packaging solution that combines Galaxy’s technical excellence with ABG’s market reach and end-to-end expertise.”
What makes this launch so significant is that converters can now come to ABG for a truly end-to-end solution, from coating and lamination through to pouch production and beyond, all from one supplier,” added Matt Burton, ABG’s global sales director. “By combining our new ThermoLam product with Galaxy’s world-class pouch-making systems and adding further innovations to follow, ABG Flex Pack provides converters with more capability, efficiency and the ability to diversify into one of the most dynamic packaging markets in the world.”
ABG Flex Pack will feature prominently on Galaxy Packtech’s stand (5E48) at Labelexpo Europe 2025, taking place from 16-19 September at Fira de Barcelona – Gran Via, Spain. Live demonstrations of Galaxy’s high-performance pouch-making machine will take place throughout the show and ABG experts will be on hand to discuss applications, integration and service support.
Visitors can also experience ABG solutions across a wide range of categories, including booklets, shrink sleeve, embellishment, laser cutting, inspection, converting, non-stop technology and more, by visiting ABG’s stand 3E41 in Hall 3. ABG’s established shrink sleeve portfolio, ranging from seaming rewinders and intermittent cutting systems to doctoring machines, demonstrates the company’s proven capability in delivering solutions already installed in markets worldwide.
