The Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chains is enabling more resilient, sustainable and inclusive manufacturing ecosystems and supply chains.
TransPak is a global provider of engineered packaging, custom crating, and logistics support, specializing in the transport of high-value, heavy, large-scale, and technologically sensitive equipment. The company is family-owned, acquired by the Inch family in 1969, with origins as a small crate shop in Silicon Valley.
TransPak’s core heritage is in semiconductor capital equipment packaging, supporting manufacturers of fabrication machinery rather than chip packaging itself. Over the past two decades, the company has diversified into data centers and hyperscalers, now a major growth driver, particularly linked to AI-related infrastructure demand. Additional focus segments include medical devices and equipment, and aerospace and defense, where packaging requirements are highly specialized.
Headquartered in San Jose, California, with strong operational roots across the San Francisco Bay Area, TransPak follows a customer-proximate operating model, building packaging solutions close to customer manufacturing and deployment sites. The company operates across North America, Europe, Asia, and Mexico, with a strong established footprint in Asia, rapid expansion in Europe including Ireland, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic, active consideration of acquisitions in the UK, and continued growth on the U.S. East Coast.
