CUNFAN Expands Global Footprint with Major Food Vacuum Packaging Shipments to Southeast Asia and the Middle East

April 7, 2026

At CUNFAN, we are proud to announce a series of successful international shipments of our advanced food vacuum packaging machinery during the first quarter of 2026. As the global food processing industry continues to expand at an unprecedented pace, we have strengthened our presence in key markets across Southeast Asia and the Middle East, delivering cutting-edge packaging solutions tailored to the unique needs of international clients.

Riding the Wave of Global Market Growth

The global food vacuum packaging machinery market is experiencing robust growth, driven by rising demand for extended shelf life, increased frozen food consumption, and the expansion of cold chain infrastructure worldwide. According to the latest market report, the global food vacuum machine market is projected to grow from $16.72 billion in 2025 to $17.91 billion in 2026, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. By 2030, the market is expected to reach $23.85 billion, growing at a CAGR of 7.4%. This accelerating demand reflects the global shift toward hygienically packaged, ready-to-eat foods and the increasing adoption of automated packaging lines across food processing facilities.

New Export Order: High-Performance Vacuum Packaging Equipment to the United Arab Emirates

We are pleased to announce that ourCFZK-600 fully automatic continuous thermoforming vacuum packaging machine has been successfully shipped to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in early March 2026, marking a significant milestone in our expansion into the Middle Eastern market. As a flagship product in the food packaging machinery field, the CFZK-600 integrates core technologies including film stretching, forming, vacuum packaging, and sealing into a fully automated continuous production line. The machine’s precise temperature and pneumatic control system ensures uniform lower film stretching, aesthetically pleasing forming, and secure upper film sealing. Its efficient vacuum system effectively removes oxygen from packaging, significantly extending food shelf life, making it ideal for high-value-added products such as meat, seafood, cheese, and cooked foods.

The shipment to the UAE was a seamless process, from business negotiations and technical coordination to logistics and transportation. Given the complexities of international transport, we provided specialized moisture-proof and shock-proof packaging for the equipment, along with a detailed English operating manual and Middle Eastern standard electrical components to ensure rapid installation and operation upon arrival. Before shipment, we demonstrated the entire commissioning and packaging process to our UAE client via remote video conferencing, earning high praise for the machine’s stable performance and high production capacity.

Strengthening Middle Eastern Presence from a Strategic Hub

Located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, the UAE—particularly Dubai—serves as a crucial logistics and re-export hub for the entire Middle East region. The successful export of the DLZ-580 will not only serve the UAE’s growing food processing and re-export industry but will also act as a base to expand into neighboring markets such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and Kuwait. As Chinese-made packaging equipment continues to gain competitiveness in the international market, our company remains committed to bringing high-quality, intelligent packaging solutions to the world, serving the packaging upgrade needs of global food companies.

Expanding into Southeast Asia: A Major Shipment to Indonesia

Our growth momentum has not been limited to the Middle East. In early 2026, we also successfully shipped a double-chamber frozen food vacuum packaging machine to a leading frozen food processing company in Indonesia. The Indonesian customer specializes in producing and exporting frozen fish fillets, shrimp, squid, and processed chicken products—a sector that has seen rapid expansion thanks to the country’s vast marine resources and growing demand for halal-certified frozen foods.

The machine, constructed with food-grade stainless steel for durability, hygiene, and easy cleaning, is designed to meet high sanitation standards in long-term frozen food processing applications. After several months of operation, the Indonesian client reported a 30-40% increase in packaging efficiency compared to previous equipment, significantly extended shelf life for frozen products, and consistently stable sealing quality with fewer defects. Impressed by the machine’s performance, the customer has expressed interest in upgrading to a model with gas flushing (MAP) capability and a larger vacuum chamber to meet future production needs.

Looking Ahead

As we move further into 2026, CUNFAN remains committed to technological innovation, product optimization, and global service excellence. We will continue to bring advanced food vacuum packaging machinery to customers across Southeast Asia and the Middle East, supporting food companies in extending product shelf life, reducing waste, and achieving international export standards. With major international trade events such as interpack 2026 in Düsseldorf approaching, we look forward to connecting with global clients and partners to explore new opportunities in the dynamic food packaging industry.
