From its inception, the company, founded by Rémi de Précourt and Yohann Lhommedé, focused on aluminum, at a time when the market was still largely dominated by zamak. According to Rémi de Précourt, "aluminum is now universally recognized as the most sustainable metal."
Packman’s strength lies in its fully integrated production chain. From raw aluminum processing to final anodizing, the company oversees every stage of the manufacturing process. To support growing demand for customization and advanced technical expertise, Packman and its industrial partner in China recently co-invested in a fleet of 100 robotic CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines, thus enabling the production of highly technical, tailor-made components with optimized lead times across both small and large production volumes. The company also provides plastic and metal injection molding solutions, alongside an expanding range of full-service offerings. In 2025, Packman achieved revenue of EUR 11 million, marking 20% growth year over year.
The company regularly collaborates with prestigious brands including Chanel, Diptyque, Azzaro, Issey Miyake, and Balenciaga. Most recently, the bottle for Chance Eau Splendide — featuring an aluminum cap produced by Packman — received an award at the PCD Awards during Paris Packaging Week.
Innovation and CSR challenges
“Packman benefits from extensive technical expertise in cold stamping, particularly in the production of perfume bottle caps, enabling us to manufacture both simple and highly sophisticated shapes,” explains Rémi de Précourt. According to him, mastering the entire transformation process represents “a real industrial advantage.” “It allows us to offer shorter lead times, greater control over finishes, consistent quality, and lower transportation costs.”
In addition, its partner factory in China is recognized as a benchmark for CSR performance and has been designated a model factory by the Chinese authorities. The site has implemented several sustainability initiatives, including the full recycling of anodizing fluids, the recovery and reuse of polishing particles, and the installation of solar panels, which now supply 30% of the facility’s electricity consumption.
Patented innovations
The first half of 2026 was marked by three patented innovations for Packman. The first, the TK520 process for transforming raw aluminum, enables the production of solid components from a lightweight, 100% recyclable material. “This process retains the versatility of anodizing while allowing for multicolored finishes and a wide range of visual effects. It provides an eco-responsible solution for clients seeking both technical performance and premium aesthetics,” explains Rémi de Précourt.
The second innovation, called Cipack, is designed for perfume and spirits caps. “In this solution, the aluminum cap incorporates an insert that is also made entirely of aluminum rather than plastic, resulting in packaging that is fully aluminum-based and infinitely recyclable. The cap can then be attached to the bottle either through a clip-on or clamping system,” explains the CEO.
Finally, Novalu consists of an aluminum bottle designed to accommodate an aluminum band — entirely free of plastic — while ensuring optimal sealing performance, “once again enabling us to offer fully mono-material solutions.”
Diversification
Packman’s full-service offering is not new, but it continues to evolve to meet customer requirements with increasing precision. Most recently, the company inaugurated a 700-square-meter facility at its French site in Vendée. This new space enables Packman to manage assembly and packaging operations, provide quality control services for its European clients — which represent 80% of its portfolio — and handle customer returns.
Finally, Packman has opened a new chapter by extending its expertise into the spirits sector. The company’s teams took part in the VS Pack in 2025 and are set to return in 2027. Its first projects are already underway in the world of Cognac.
