Key Players
Competitive Landscape
Competition in cellulose produce netting runs through three business models: cellulose-mesh manufacturers, produce-packaging integrators and machinery-led packhouse groups. Giró Group, Badalona Pac and Packnatur GmbH document direct cellulose-net offers, while Sorma Group and NNZ compete through broader fresh-produce packaging systems.
Investment shifted toward distribution reach and packhouse automation during 2025 and 2026. BiCOPACK joined Go Global 2026 in June to build international commercial relationships for its natural-fiber meshes. Sorma Group reported an October 2025 customer investment in hall automation, showing that produce accounts increasingly evaluate material changes beside line and pallet-handling productivity.
Company developments mapped to drivers, trends and opportunities (2026-2036)
| Development | Driver | Trend | Opportunity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Giró Group, October 2025: presented fresh-produce packaging and automation with Serfruit at Fruit Attraction 2025. | Packhouses compare packaging changes with automation and handling requirements. | Equipment and packaging decisions are being reviewed in the same produce projects. | Offer cellulose-net trials with the equipment settings and handling data needed for scale-up. |
| The Royal NNZ Group, September 2025: participated in Potato Europe in Lelystad for potato packaging programs. | Potato packers need breathable formats that protect produce during storage and distribution. | Crop-specific reviews keep material and ventilation choices inside the same packaging program. | Position cellulose nets beside paper and conventional net options during potato pack trials. |
Packnatur GmbH, M.T. RETI, TVU Garnvertrieb GmbH, BiCOPACK, GALLOPLASTIK S.r.l., Badalona Pac and KUKU International Packaging compete through cellulose mesh construction, pack geometry, compostability or paper integration.

Together, the profiled companies cover cellulose mesh production, branded produce formats, conventional-machine compatibility, distribution and packhouse automation.
Who leads the cellulose produce netting market?
No single company controls the verified field. Giró Group and Badalona Pac have the broadest direct cellulose-net evidence, while Sorma Group has stronger produce-line machinery depth.
Which suppliers have documented qualification or quality approvals?
Giró Group documents compostability and FSC-linked cellulosic materials. BiCOPACK and TVU Garnvertrieb GmbH also publish compostability or food-contact certifications for natural-fiber netting.
Which companies provide fresh-produce products?
Giró Group, Sorma Group, Packnatur GmbH, The Royal NNZ Group, Badalona Pac, M.T. RETI, TVU Garnvertrieb GmbH, BiCOPACK, GALLOPLASTIK S.r.l. and KUKU International Packaging all document fruit or vegetable packaging offers.
Which suppliers serve Western Europe and North America?
Giró Group and The Royal NNZ Group document international networks that include both regions. Badalona Pac operates in more than 35 countries, though its public pages do not map every market by region.
Representative Company Overview
| Company | Positioning | Verified Development |
|---|---|---|
| Giró Group | Global produce-net packaging group with cellulose bags, net consumables and owned weighing and bagging machinery. | In July 2025, Giró opened a new machinery manufacturing plant in Alzira and expanded production area from 3,500 m² to 7,800 m². |
Research Methodology
The companies mapped here illustrate the cellulose produce netting market structure rather than an exhaustive ranking. Inclusion requires current, verifiable evidence that a company supplies cellulose netting for fruit or vegetables, or an integrated produce-packaging route that includes cellulose-net functions within the defined scope. Evidence comes from regulatory records, third-party certifications, company announcements, product documentation and public filings. Capabilities are attributed to the stated cellulose-net, produce-packaging or line-integration offer rather than generalised across broader corporate portfolios. Market-share estimates remain proprietary FMI assessments for the forecast period.
