Embracing female entrepreneurship, Apak Packaging (PTY) Ltd. are very proud to be a BBBEE compliant, 100% woman owned company.
We are committed to turning our ideas into reality and enjoy the creativity allowed to us through the variety of packaging mediums. According to Anna-Maria Pinto, the founder of Apak Packaging (PTY) Ltd., there is no right or wrong recipe to start a company, passion and drive are the real secrets!
Anna, a dynamic woman who started her first company at the age of 18, has enjoyed success in business over the years by staying focused, keeping her eye on every aspect of her business and keeping updated on new packaging mediums and trends…and if there are no available packaging solutions, she creates one!
Keen motivation and personal qualities are the reason Apak is where it is today. And while Anna has always been self-employed, she continues to challenge herself and her staff to learn and grow, putting Apak on a larger scale every year. For Apak, every challenge we are faced with, becomes a greater experience, and a way for us to find our true potential. We are always up for the challenge, which is one of the reasons behind Apak’s success.
Apak, founded in 2001, a company which started off selling only boxes, has transformed into one of South Africa’s top Cold Chain and General Packaging distributors in all shapes and forms, constantly launching new products, researching packaging trends and creating packaging answers where the toughest challenges are faced.
Anna and her staff always go the extra mile for their clients and endeavour to find the answer to packaging challenges faced.
Apak specialises in Cold Chain medical boxes and gel packs. Apak also provides a specialised product for wine bottle protection and is assisted with a community based project, proudly made by South African hands.
