Ancieto Canamasas founded Faca Packaging in Spain in 1970. At the end of last year, the company celebrated half a century of activity despite a difficult year in 2020.
Over the past 50 years, many things have happened, some positive, some difficult. Despite the current global situation, Faca packaging continues to be a leader in luxury and high-end packaging for the cosmetics industry. Its mold making division also joins the party, as it produced its 3,000th mold in 2020, placing innovation in the fields of injection and blow molding at the heart of its approach.
Technological innovations
This year was also important for Faca Packaging, which continued to modernize and renew its machines. Important investments have been made in machines for a more sustainable and lower consumption, both in injection with the acquisition of heavy machines allowing multi-cavity molds, and in decoration and assembly, with state-of-the-art machines for quality control using very high speed artificial vision cameras.
Sustainable development
This year Faca Packaging has renewed its most representative model, the refillable T22 - version, which has been constantly imitated over the last 20 years. Now it has a refillable cup, as well as the possibility of making it from recyclable and recycled materials.
Since 2019, Faca Packaging has been using 100 % renewable energy in all three factories, the injection mold plant, as well as in its offices, continuing the commitment to environmental sustainability, all electricity consumption comes from fully renewable energy.
"In addition to this, we must not forget the most important pillars that have always characterized Faca Packaging: R&D, design, exclusivity and quality, is emphasized within the company. We work in a 100 % clean room with a guaranteed system, approval of ISO - 9001 certifications, and the current development of ISO-14001."
Added value
The product has two important elements. The first is technical. It concerns the functional elements on which the design of the packaging must be based for a safe and clean packaging.
The second element is aesthetics. Essential aspects such as design, decoration and finishes are involved.
"Our extensive knowledge and focus over the past 50 years has enabled us to meet this aesthetic, technological and functional challenge in an exceptional way. We continue to aim to launch 4-5 models per year, as well as expand our patent list, which currently numbers over 300, says the company. We are very proud to be able to celebrate our 50th anniversary, and of course we thank all our customers for the trust they have placed in us over the years."
