September 28, 2026 (Milan, Italy) — Guala Closures, a worldwide industrial leader in specialty closure solutions, is presenting a major, strategic reorganization of its dedicated luxury division, Prestige, at LUXE PACK Monaco 2026 (Ravel Hall, Booth RD07). Chosen by many of the world’s most prestigious spirits brands, the Prestige business represents approximately 10% of Guala Closures’ total global sales (with consolidated revenues exceeding €923 million). This high-end division is backed by a powerful infrastructure, including 8 specialized Innovation Centres across three continents, which allow Guala Closures to operate as a leading industrial force and a key partner in the global premiumization trend.
This renewed presence at the event highlights a deeper evolution: the transition of the closure from a silent, functional component into a highly strategic driver of brand equity and packaging design. To meet this market demand, Guala Closures has restructured its Prestige portfolio into three targeted, high-end lines designed to balance creative freedom with industrial and environmental consistency:
- Unique: Dedicated to the most exclusive, tailored packaging projects, developed entirely from scratch through collaborative co-creation.
- Selection: Operating as a dynamic configurator of high-end materials, shapes, and decorative finishes, Selection cross-references existing pre-engineered elements to unlock endless design possibilities while accelerating time-to-market.
- Essence: A sophisticated range proving that high-end luxury aesthetics and circular economy packaging design can coexist without compromise.
This new architecture is the natural, visible expression of Guala Closures’ consulting approach, which positions the Group not merely as a manufacturer, but as an essential strategic partner for global spirits brands.
“The restructuring of the Prestige portfolio does not simply classify our products; it was born to make Guala Closures’ strategic, consultancy-driven approach visible within our commercial offer” commented Nicola Carandente, Prestige Business Director at Guala Closures. “These three tiers simplify the decision process, guiding brand managers to their exact solution without limiting creativity”.
Guala Closures’ expertise stems directly from a co-creative approach to every project. This collaborative spirit is showcased at the stand’s Invention Lab—an immersive journey through three dedicated stations designed to guide designers and brand managers beyond a traditional static display. Visitors can explore the tactile potential of ten premium raw materials, discover advanced surface finishes like metallization, laser engraving, and electroplating, and learn about the seven core design pillars that enable Guala Closures to scale complex, customized geometries on global bottling lines.
The ultimate technical proof of this co-creation model is represented by Guala Closures’ latest security innovations, designed to integrate anti-counterfeiting directly into the aesthetic design of the closure:
- MAGNEX: A high-security closure produced at the Gartcosh facility in Scotland using patented Electromagnetic Forming (EMF) technology. By utilizing high-velocity magnetic pulses to form an aluminum outer shell directly around a rigid inner core, MAGNEX achieves sharp edges and micro-engravings that are virtually impossible to copy.
- HALO: Reimagines the traditional T-Bar by seamlessly blending an elegant, uninterrupted silhouette on the retail shelf with an invisible, integrated tamper-evident system. Operating on existing bottling lines, HALO reveals its security seal only at the moment of first opening, guaranteeing absolute product integrity.
By combining this structured material versatility with robust safety systems, Guala Closures’ Prestige brand continues to shape the future of premium packaging, making every bottle safer, more sustainable, and deeply memorable.
