Guala Closures at Pharmapack with KWK: strengthening its presence in the pharmaceutical sector

Guala Closures will take part in Pharmapack 2026 for the first time, the leading international event dedicated to pharmaceutical packaging and drug delivery systems. The exhibition will be held in Paris on January 21–22, 2026, at booth 4B37, where the Group will be exhibiting alongside KWK – Kunststoffwerk Kremsmünster, now fully integrated into Guala Closures.

Pharmapack brings together pharmaceutical companies, CDMOs and primary packaging specialists, offering a unique platform to present solutions that combine safety, performance and regulatory compliance. Guala Closures’ participation represents a key strategic milestone, marking the Group’s first public step into the pharmaceutical market and confirming a long-term commitment to this highly specialized industry.

The integration of KWK, a recognized expert in plastic closures for pharmaceutical applications, further strengthens Guala Closures’ positioning by combining complementary strengths: KWK’s deep know-how in precision pharma closures with Guala Closures’ technological expertise, innovation capabilities and global manufacturing footprint.

This collaboration translates into a broader and more cohesive primary packaging offering, designed to meet the highest standards in terms of patient safety, tamper evidence and product protection. As part of this evolution, KWK’s portfolio is now expanded with two aluminum closure solutions from Guala Closures: ROPP and GPI, significantly widening the range of applications for pharmaceutical customers.

GPI and ROPP closures further enhance the pharma portfolio with aluminum solutions that balance performance and safety: GPI closures combine a plastic inner component with an aluminum outer shell to deliver reliable sealing and a premium look and feel, while ROPP closures, made entirely of aluminum, provide clear tamper evidence and seamless integration with pharmaceutical filling and capping lines.

With this first appearance at Pharmapack, KWK and Guala Closures open a new chapter in their shared journey, positioning themselves as a trusted partner offering a comprehensive range of plastic and aluminum closure solutions designed to protect what matters most: people’s health.
