The rebranding project has the aim of highlighting a solid technological growth as well as a new and young communication mode that transfers the inherent partnership philosophy of the company. The name has obviously remained the same as it remarks the longstanding presence in the market. What has changed is the logo style with a modern uppercase typographic character to emphasize its success. The red colour has been chosen in a vivid and full-bodied modality to transmit the energy and the determined personality of the whole organisation.
The new letter “A” now precedes the company motto, already introduced in 2016 to recall the team dedication to the company mission. Its colours refers to the made in Italy production, its inclination indicates its natural tendency towards the future, the red strip around the A represents the concept of packaging as its core business.

Our packaging philosophyAmotek's extremely versatile and easy to operate machines, are able to pack single and multiple products into bags from tubular, flat, center-folded film or pre-made bags. Our machines can produce different styles of bags like with carrier handle or Euro hole, bottom and/or top gussets, as well as other sealing profiles. Thanks to their operation flexibility, Amotek’s machines can be automatically coupled to any production line or operate independently as standalone machineries.
New building since the end of 2015The new Amotek building was officially dedicated in October 2015. New, bright and spacious offices and assembly hall.

After the first three years of growth on the home market, their interest turned to the international market. With this objective in mind, they merged with OLTREMARE group to form AMOTEK which was at that point the leader in that particular sector.
