Mespack will showcase its Pharma Turnkey Solution and other flexible packaging machinery at Propak Asia 2025, while its parent company Duravant marks the official launch of Duravant Thailand to support regional customers with local technicians and spare parts availability.

A live demonstration will feature Mespack’s Pharma Turnkey Solution, which pairs the MSPH Series vertical form-fill-seal machine with the A1 case packer. Designed for pharmaceutical applications, the system meets GMP, GAMP5, FDA, and 21 CFR Part 11 standards, producing up to 840 stick packs per minute.

Other equipment on display includes the RM260SC rotary machine, capable of running at speeds up to 60 packs per minute with five-minute format changeovers for pre-made pouches. Mespack will also present its MLC Series multilane system, which can produce up to 2400 sachets per minute and is designed for continuous sealing.

The company will also highlight updates to its Athena digital platform, which it says supports improved machine control and production data analysis. According to the company, Athena allows users to monitor and manage output to help improve operational efficiency.

Guillem Clofent, managing director at Mespack, said the company is using the event to “showcase our expertise in flexible packaging solutions and demonstrate our commitment to the Asia-Pacific region with the launch of Duravant Thailand."

Mespack’s wider portfolio includes vertical and horizontal form-fill-seal machines, hydroforma technology for water-soluble pods, and end-of-line equipment. The company supplies recyclable-ready formats and turnkey projects to a range of sectors.

Propak Asia 2025 will take place at BITEC in Bangkok from 11–14 June. Mespack will exhibit at booth P30.
