Goldpack will showcase its partnership with GroupMosca at Propak Cape Town 2026, highlighting a growing portfolio of high-performance strapping, wrapping and end-of-line packaging solutions for industries across Africa.

As the African agent for GroupMosca, the company supplies, installs and supports Mosca's strapping systems throughout the region. The partnership has established a strong presence in the Sub-Saharan African corrugated industry, while solutions are also supplied into timber, print, meat processing, agriculture and other industries where robust and reliable load securing is essential.

GroupMosca has built its reputation around high-performance strapping systems designed for demanding industrial environments. Today, however, the group's capabilities extend well beyond strapping. Following the integration of Movitec's stretch-wrapping expertise and the addition of Reisopack to the Mosca Group, the portfolio has expanded significantly. Reisopack brings particular expertise in agricultural applications, including automated solutions developed for the fruit and vegetable sector.

In May 2026, GroupMosca and SIAT also announced a strategic cooperation agreement designed to broaden their respective packaging portfolios and provide more integrated end-of-line solutions, spanning applications including strapping, wrapping, sealing, forming, cartoning and palletising.

These developments create an opportunity to offer customers more than a single machine. GroupMosca is positioning itself as a provider of integrated end-of-line solutions, combining machinery, materials, digital applications and services to help manufacturers build more efficient, resilient and future-ready packaging operations.

Reliability at the end of the line

In high-volume manufacturing, the cost of a packaging machine cannot be measured only by its purchase price. A machine that regularly stops, misfeeds strap, requires constant adjustment or struggles with the demands of the application can quickly become an expensive part of the production process.

Securing a finished load may be one of the final steps in production, but it can have a significant impact on the entire operation. A reliable system needs to apply consistently, handle the required production volumes and integrate effectively into the customer's existing process. The objective is not simply to supply a machine, but to provide a solution that performs reliably over the long term.

Machine, material and technical expertise

This approach is supported by local manufacturing capability. Polypropylene strapping is produced through Goldpack's extrusion operation in Cape Town, allowing high-quality strapping to be supplied alongside machinery and technical services.

By combining the machine, consumable and technical expertise, customers can address the complete strapping application rather than treating the machine and strap as separate considerations. This can be particularly important in high-volume environments, where consistent strap quality and machine performance are essential to maintaining uptime.

A growing opportunity in citrus

The timing is particularly relevant for the agricultural sector. South Africa's citrus industry exported approximately 2.9 million tonnes of citrus in 2025, making the country the world's largest citrus exporter by volume. The industry is continuing to expand its export capability, placing increasing demands on packhouses, logistics operations and the equipment used to prepare products for transport.

The agricultural market is therefore a key area for expansion, with the GroupMosca portfolio offering opportunities across strapping and wrapping applications. Reisopack's agricultural expertise is particularly relevant, with solutions developed for high-throughput fruit and vegetable operations, including automated horizontal strapping and integrated edge protection.

The opportunity extends well beyond agriculture. Corrugated manufacturers, timber processors, printers, meat processors, brick manufacturers, logistics companies and any operation requiring the secure and consistent handling of finished products can benefit from professionally engineered strapping and wrapping systems.

The end of the production line deserves the same attention to reliability and performance as every other part of the manufacturing process. With access to GroupMosca's expanding technology portfolio, local technical expertise and locally manufactured strapping, manufacturers can increasingly address their end-of-line requirements through a single experienced partner.

Visitors to Stand A51 at Propak Cape Town 2026 will be able to discuss their specific production requirements with the technical team and explore how GroupMosca's expanding portfolio can be applied to their operation — from individual strapping machines to broader end-of-line packaging solutions.

Reliable packaging doesn't end with the machine. It starts with choosing the right system, the right material and the right technical partner.
