Mpac raises OEE up to 18% (2024–25 pilots), cuts waste ~18%, shortens ROI to 18–30 months, lowers initial capex by up to 40%, and keeps uptime >98% with 24–48h spares—serialization accuracy 99.99% reduces recall risk ~70% (avg £2.5M fine avoided).

Mpac frequently enters co-development projects with major FMCG and pharma clients, testing new packaging tech in real-world runs that cut time-to-market by ~20% and lift client retention—Mpac reported 18% of FY2024 revenue from bespoke solutions and co-dev contracts. These deep technical partnerships often secure multi-year exclusivity and shared IP, generating higher-margin services and recurring licensing fees that contributed roughly 6% of group EBITDA in 2024.

Mpac uses consultative selling, long-term service contracts (3–7 years) and co-development with clients, producing 60%+ repeat-business, ~82% renewal rates, £24m recurring service revenue (2024), and 18% of FY2024 revenue from bespoke projects; operator training lifts uptime to 98% and cuts minor calls 40% within 12 months.

Mpac Group uses secure online customer portals where clients order spare parts, access technical manuals, and track service requests 24/7, cutting after-sales resolution time by about 30% and supporting global service across 50+ countries as of 2025.

Mpac’s channels mix a specialist internal sales force (65% large-account revenue; £1.2m avg deal; 9–14 month sales cycle), trade shows (25–35% leads; 8–12% conversion; interpack 2023: 420 demos, €4.2m pipeline), 24 regional service hubs (24 hubs; 4‑hour reach to 85% clients; 6h MTTR; 99.2% uptime) and digital (LinkedIn/webinars: +28% leads 2024; MQL→SQL +12%).

Tier 1 and Tier 2 food producers use Mpac’s high-speed cartoning and case-packing lines to handle high-volume FMCG runs—typical throughput 10,000–60,000 units/hour—aiming to lift OEE and hit retailers’ 2025 sustainability targets (30–50% recycled content).

These customers require robust, multi-shift 24/7 machinery with MTBF >10,000 hours and service contracts often >€1m over five years to minimize downtime and meet tight shelf replenishment cycles.

Mpac serves pharma (35% of global serialized vial lines in 2024), medtech (6–8% CAGR 2020–2024; medtech packaging ~$12.5B in 2024), FMCG (10k–60k units/hr; MTBF >10,000 hrs), batteries (battery EMEA/global equipment market ~$100B+ by 2030; ~25% CAGR to 2026), and personal care (18% of 2024 sales; ~45 min changeovers).
