Media Group
The magazines ItaliaImballaggio, Packbook, Pack-Media and Packaging Speaks Green are published by Kairos Media Group.
Founded in January 2023, the group incorporates the publishing activities of Pack-Media, owned by UCIMA (Italian Packaging Machinery Manufacturers’ Association) and Tile Edizioni, owned by ACIMAC (Italian Ceramic Machinery Manufacturers’ Association).
The four magazines provide content of interest to the packaging community in Italy and abroad and conduct publishing and multimedia activities at an international level. In addition, they support the packaging industry by creating and disseminating editorial and advertising content aimed at improving the visibility of products and manufacturers.
This goal is also pursued through the publication of B2B magazines in both print and web format targeted mainly at the consumer goods industry (primarily food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals).
