COMEXI GROUP

Founded in 1954, COMEXI was developed to offer solutions for the flexible packaging sector

The way we do it is through our commitment to being an international leader in design, production and marketing of equipment goods, products and services.

There is no excellence without a close
client service

Comexi operates all over the world with 5 hubs (in Europe, North America, Central America, South America and Asia). We also have spare part stocks on local level and immediate technical assistance availability, and our goal is to avoid delays in manufacturing, logistics and customs.

Packaging should be designed,for its primary purpose: to contain, protect and and transport the packaged product

Environment-friendly, ecological, safe, healthy. Attractive packagings, developed to make life easier, to provide comfort, functionality, freedom, innovation and customisation. And finally, to communicate better, with precise, traceable, secure and attractive information.

Comexi places its clients as the central focus of our activity and innovation, with sustainability and proximity as the 3 cornerstones. Consequently, Comexi is commited to being a global partner throughout the reel-to-reel process of flexible packaging. Our solutions concentrate on the printing, laminating and coatings, cutting, laser and end of line reel handling processes.

Comexi has been a family business since its beginnings. The company was founded in 1954 in Girona by Manel Xifra Boada and his wife. Now in transition to the leadership of the third generation of the Xifra family, Comexi is characterised by its friendly service.
