Ipack Solutions has confirmed a strategic partnership with DGM Europe, effective 1st January 2026. The new agency agreement positions Ipack Solutions to serve both folding carton and corrugated packaging sectors with die-cutting and folder gluing machinery from DGM’s European headquarters in Barcelona.
The partnership represents a significant evolution for Ipack Solutions, expanding the company’s portfolio into the corrugated sector while strengthening its established presence in folding carton. DGM’s range includes die-cutters, foil stampers, laminators and folder gluers, supported by a 2,000 sqm permanent showroom and technical centre in Barcelona.
John Hall, Managing Director, Ipack Solutions, commented, “This partnership is about choosing a supplier whose values align with ours and whose operational approach supports the responsive, reliable service our customers depend on. DGM gives us the control, direct communication and technical support we need to deliver what UK packaging businesses require. After visiting their factory in China and European facility in Barcelona, it’s clear we’ve found a partner who shares our commitment to quality and service.”
The partnership comes as Ipack Solutions concluded its 13-year agency with Eterna in December 2025. Ipack Solutions aims to build awareness of DGM’s capabilities among UK packaging converters through demonstrations, technical support, and customer service that reflects the company’s established reputation. DGM Europe, with 30 years of manufacturing experience, operates from Barcelona serving customers across Europe and North Africa. The company emphasises technical consulting, equipment testing and after-sales support including training and spare parts supply.
Hall concluded, “We’re making a strategic decision about the future. DGM represents the kind of dynamic, quality-focussed partner that allows us to grow with our customers. We can now support them with equipment and service that meets their needs.”
Ipack Solutions will continue to supply consumables and maintain existing customer relationships across all product lines. The company plans to showcase DGM equipment capabilities throughout 2026, with demonstration opportunities available at DGM’s Barcelona showroom.
