About us

Manel Padullés founded his first bagging machinery company in 1973. Later, along with Xavier Arderiu, who is part of his design team, they develop a wide range of solutions and so in 2000 they decide to start a new business project together: this is the moment when TMI is born.

TMI launches into exports with its first distributors in Eastern Europe, relationships that have remained solid until this day.

During the early years of its history, TMI focuses on palletising and stretch-wrapping. But then a major strategic change comes along: TMI decides to diversify its product, starting by creating what will be a wide range of bagging solutions recognized to date, such as tubular FFS bagging stations and automatic and semi-automatic lines for valve and open-mouth bags, for different sectors.

Our constant evolution and growth forces us to start a new era, expanding TMI with the opening of the new facilities.

Over the years, TMI has consolidated its position as a highly internationalised company, with references in more than 40 countries. Therefore it has been decided to expand TMI's borders to other continents by founding a subsidiary in Mexico: TMI LATAM S.L. These are changes and decisions that make TMI what it is today.

As references and sales grow, TMI also needs to grow structurally: our production capacity has doubled, and we have expanded our facilities by adding a new industrial building. This also marks the inauguration of the test laboratory: a pioneering unit in the analysis of the behaviour of products.

TMI celebrates its 20th anniversary, having developed a wide range of solutions for bagging, palletizing and stretch-wrapping of products from multiple sectors and thus achieving references worldwide. Internationalization is now one of the pillars of the company.

With over 84% of sales destined for export, this year marks a key stage of global growth and innovation.

A year of consolidation and evolution with three major milestones: the start of local manufacturing in Mexico, the launch of a new logistics facility in Lleida, and the release of the digital platform ON-TMI. Three key steps to continue growing on a more solid, efficient, and connected foundation.

We celebrate 25 years connecting the future, with a consolidated presence in 52 countries, a team of 130 people, and a consistent 3% investment in R&D.
