MM Pharma & Healthcare Packaging expands printed aluminium foil production in Italy

ITALY – MM Pharma & Healthcare Packaging has reaffirmed its commitment to the pharmaceutical sector with a significant expansion of printed aluminium foil production at its Piacenza facility in Italy.

The global printed aluminium foil packaging market is expected to reach US$37 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 4.3% (Future Market Insights).

The company is strategically positioning itself to meet the unique needs of medium-sized pharmaceutical laboratories seeking high-quality, flexible packaging solutions.

“For over 30 years, our Piacenza site has specialized in converting pharma-grade printed aluminium foil to the highest standards,” said Monica Maschi, Sales Manager & European Key Account at MM Pharma & Healthcare Packaging.

“While many large suppliers prioritize high-volume production, we focus on providing premium quality foil in smaller, customized batches.

“This makes us an ideal partner for companies requiring blister packs and push-through closures that offer robust protection against light, moisture, and oxygen.”

The Piacenza facility operates an ISO 8-certified cleanroom (Class 100,000), maintaining strict controls to meet pharmaceutical primary packaging regulations.

This ensures a manufacturing environment with no more than 100,000 particles (0.5 μm) per cubic foot, critical for preserving the safety and efficacy of sensitive drug products.

Printed aluminium foil is vital in pharmaceutical packaging, offering exceptional barrier properties, tamper evidence, and long-term product integrity.

These features are increasingly in demand as the industry prioritizes product protection, traceability, and brand differentiation.

“Our decades of expertise in foil conversion underline our long-term dedication to this specialized sector,” added Maschi.

“We provide services that many larger producers do not, including variable data printing, coloured foils, and tailored production volumes.

“These capabilities not only enhance supply chain security and compliance, but also support visual branding and recognition in a competitive market.”

By combining technical excellence with customized service, MM Pharma & Healthcare Packaging continues to deliver reliable, high-quality printed aluminium foil solutions that address the evolving needs of medium-sized pharmaceutical companies. This positioning positions the Piacenza facility as a key player in Europe’s pharmaceutical packaging landscape.
