Many people know Atlanta Stretch for its world-class pallet wrapping machines , but few realise that it forms part of a much larger organisation. The Atlanta Group is a collection of specialised Italian manufacturing companies focused on solving packaging challenges across every stage of the end-of-line packaging process.
From pallet wrapping and strapping through to shrink wrapping, carton sealing, and water-activated tape systems, the Atlanta Group has built a portfolio of companies that collectively provide complete packaging solutions for manufacturers, warehouses, logistics providers, and distribution centres around the world.

Comarme – Global Leaders in Carton Sealing
The Atlanta Group's expertise extends beyond pallet packaging through its ownership of Comarme, one of the world's best-known manufacturers of carton sealing equipment.
Comarme's history dates back to the early 1900s, making it one of the longest-established companies within the group. During the 1960s, the company became a pioneer in the development of carton sealing machinery, helping to establish many of the packaging methods that are still widely used today.
The company manufactures a comprehensive range of carton erectors and carton sealers that utilise adhesive tape, water-activated tape, hot melt glue, and staples.
Recognising the strength of the brand and its technology, the Atlanta Group acquired Comarme in 2013, further expanding its capabilities within the packaging sector.
ICMI – Decades of Water-Activated Tape Expertise
Water-activated tape, often referred to as gummed paper tape, has become increasingly popular due to its security, sustainability, and professional appearance.
ICMI has specialised in this field since 1975, manufacturing equipment designed specifically for applying water-activated tape to cartons and shipping boxes.
The company produces both manual and automated solutions suitable for businesses of all sizes, from small operations to high-volume distribution centres. Their expertise extends beyond machinery to include gummed paper products themselves, helping customers achieve stronger carton sealing while reducing packaging costs.
ICMI's long-standing commitment to innovation and customer support has made it a recognised leader within the water-activated tape industry.
Globus Tape – Modern Innovation for Sustainable Packaging
One of the newest additions to the Atlanta Group family is Globus Tape.
Created with a focus on innovation and sustainability, Globus Tape develops advanced water-activated tape dispensers designed for modern shipping and logistics environments.
The company's patented wetting technology ensures consistent adhesive activation, precise cutting, and reliable carton sealing. This results in stronger package security, reduced tape waste, and improved operational efficiency.
Globus Tape's products are particularly popular among e-commerce businesses, fulfilment centres, and logistics providers looking to improve packaging sustainability while maintaining high levels of carton protection.
As demand for environmentally responsible packaging continues to grow, Globus Tape represents the Atlanta Group's commitment to future-focused packaging technologies.
