In a world drowning in plastic, visionary leaders are rising to rewrite the future of packaging—and few embody that spirit more than Wenaël Regnier, the innovative mind behind SEMPACK France.
With over two decades in the automotive sector, managing complex supply chains and overseeing large-scale operations, Wenaël had mastered industrial strategy. But it was the growing crisis of ocean pollution that sparked his pivot. Moved by the magnitude of the problem and inspired by the simplicity of a pastry bag, he envisioned an entirely new form of packaging—flexible, recyclable, ergonomic, and rooted in sustainability.
In 2013, Wenaël acquired Semco, a Monaco-based packaging company. By 2020, he had founded SEMPACK France, and just a year later, established a cutting-edge industrial site near Nice. His goal? To design the packaging of tomorrow—made in France and made for the planet.
Sempack®: A Circular Solution Patented Across the Globe
The result of 10 years of R&D, Sempack® is a flexible, stand-up pouch engineered to outperform traditional rigid plastic bottles:
- 100% recyclable, mono-material (PP, PE) or paper-based (over 85% fiber)
- Patented in 30+ countries, covering 85% of global GDP
- Uses up to 75% less plastic than conventional packaging
- Enables 99% product restitution, minimizing content waste
- Compatible with biosourced and compostable materials
- Earned the “OK Recycle” (A rating) in March 2025
Manufacturing with Purpose
SEMPACK isn’t just innovating products—it’s building a sustainable ecosystem. Operating from the Nice Eco-Valley, the company maintains two semi-automatic production lines and plans to launch its fully automated, low-energy Alpha 60 line in 2026. With ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 certifications and JEI (Innovative Young Company) status, SEMPACK is well-positioned for global growth.
Its offering goes beyond packaging, incorporating:
- Production and supply of Sempack® pouches
