Industria Macchine Automatiche S.p.A.
 PROFILE
All wrapped up in its business, Industria Macchine Automatiche (IMA) is a leading Italian maker of packaging machines for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food products (primarily tea bags). IMA's pharmaceutical machinery segment produces machines for filling and packaging cosmetics and drugs. The food-packaging division focuses on machines that fill tea and coffee bags. (IMA holds some 70% of the tea bag market worldwide.) Its end-of-line unit makes shrink-wrapping machines and cartoners. The company derives about 90% of sales outside Italy. IMA plans to build its pharmaceutical segment through acquisitions. The family of chairman Marco Vacchi owns just more than 50% of IMA through the Fin-Vacchi holding company.
