Created as MaiSA on July 1, 1976 by Pablo Enrique Mai, the primary objective of this well-known company specialising in teabag packaging equipment was that of becoming undisputed leader in the niche market for single chamber teabags. Over 3500 machines sold worldwide, with a dominant market position in Latin America and a consolidated distribution network across Africa and South East Asia, are proof of the company’s excellent reputation for reliable, well-built, cost-efficient solutions.
