The Company

Creating standards in packaging performance since 1996

Our Story

Clients invest in experience, not just machines.

Starpac India Limited was founded in 1996 in Chennai, India, with a singular vision: to deliver world class packaging machinery that meets the rigorous demands of global manufacturing.

Over three decades, we have grown from a single product line to a comprehensive portfolio of packaging solutions, including VFFS machines, flow wrappers, jar and can filling machines, vacuum chamber systems, and bespoke standalone fillers. These are engineered at our 45,000 sq ft manufacturing facility in the Sidco Industrial Estate, Thirumudivakkam, Chennai.

With 1300+ successful installations across 25+ countries, Starpac machines run at the heart of production lines for some of the world's most recognizable brands, from Hindustan Unilever and Reckitt Benckiser to Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Dabur.

From the outset, the focus has been to create standards of performance: reliable sealing, accurate dosing, sustained high speed output and line efficiency that holds up in the real world.
