About TLM
TLM was founded in 1979 by the Messina family in Volpiano, in the Turin metropolitan area of northern Italy. The company initially operated across several industrial sectors before pivoting in the early 1990s to focus entirely on flow pack packaging machinery, a move driven by a commitment to innovation, production speed, and close customer collaboration. Today TLM is led by CEO Alessio Messina and General Manager Erika Messina, who continue the family's tradition of bespoke machine building from the company's purpose-built factory in Volpiano.
TLM's product range spans compact entry-level flow wrappers through to large, high-speed automated lines. The Wiki is the smallest machine in the lineup, designed for limited-space environments and small single-dose production runs. The Futura is a mid-range servo-driven horizontal flow wrapper that balances size, power, and format flexibility, making it one of the most versatile machines in the range. The Dynamic series steps up to larger-scale operations with features such as an exit belt and offset chain for easy cleaning, while the Infinity is a high-capacity machine that comes standard with an automatic reel changer, motorized film reel, and end-film sensor. The Discovery is the largest horizontal model in the lineup, accommodating wide product and film widths for baked goods, fresh produce, and non-food items.
TLM flow wrappers serve a broad cross-section of end markets. The food industry is the primary customer base, with confectionery producers, bakeries, chocolate makers, dairy processors, meat and fresh-produce packers all relying on TLM machines. Non-food sectors including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and hardware also use TLM equipment for tamper-evident, hermetically sealed packaging. Notable customers have included major confectionery groups as well as artisan chocolate producers.
Buyers seeking used TLM flow wrappers on the secondary market are drawn by the machines' robust Italian construction, Siemens motion-control electronics, and straightforward operator interfaces that reduce retraining time. TLM's focus on a single product category means spare parts and technical documentation are well-supported across generations of machines. The company's emphasis on energy-efficient design and compatibility with recyclable paper films also adds long-term value, making pre-owned TLM equipment an attractive option for producers looking to expand capacity without the lead times of a new-machine order.
