What if the smallest component of your packaging could become one of its strongest assets?
As a spirits producer, you know that every detail matters, especially the stopper.
A wooden stopper brings together a cohesive element of weight, texture and narrative.
By partnering with Minelli Group as a wooden stopper manufacturer, you can unlock new possibilities: precision-crafted closures made from FSC®-certified wood that are designed to perform well and can be customised to reflect your brand's identity.
As packaging becomes a key expression of brand identity, materials matter more than ever.
Wood offers something plastic can't: natural character, traceability and a reduced environmental footprint. It signals craftsmanship, care and a tangible connection to nature, all values increasingly valued by today's consumers and decision-makers.
Today's wood-based closures are technically robust, compatible with a wide range of formulations and container types, and can be produced with exceptional dimensional accuracy.
Add to this the ability to:
With over 85 years of experience in precision wood manufacturing, Minelli Group is a recognised partner for global brands seeking high-quality, sustainable components. As a specialist wood stopper manufacturer, we bring together materials expertise, advanced engineering and design flexibility to support product innovation across multiple industries.
What sets Minelli apart is our ability to manage the entire process in-house, from raw material sourcing to finishing, under strict quality and environmental standards. Such full integration ensures consistency, traceability and speed, even for highly customized projects.
We work with companies in the spirits and homeware sectors who want a closure that enhances product identity, respects environmental commitments and performs reliably at scale.
Our philosophy is based on three key principles:
At Minelli, sustainability is embedded in every stage of production. All the wood used in our stoppers comes from FSC®-certified forests, ensuring responsible forest management and full traceability. But our approach goes beyond certification.
We operate a zero-waste philosophy, recycling production waste into new materials and using 100% renewable electricity, including energy from Enel Green Power.
A closure may be small, but it speaks volumes. That's why Minelli offers brands complete design freedom, helping them translate product identity into physical form.
Our team works closely with customers to develop bespoke shapes, textures and finishes, whether you're looking for a minimalist silhouette, a raw natural grain or a high-gloss lacquered look. We offer a wide range of wood species: some examples are ash, beech, walnut and oak.
With options such as laser engraving, embossed logos, dual-material inserts or mono-material design frames, Minelli gives your packaging the ability to stand out - subtly, elegantly and purposefully.
High-quality packaging requires precision, repeatability and integration into your production line. That's where Minelli's engineering strength makes all the difference.
Our closures are manufactured entirely in-house, using automated machining centres and bespoke CNC technology to ensure dimensional accuracy over thousands of units. Each component is designed with tolerances optimised for its specific application, regardless of whether it needs to fit smoothly into a glass neck, a pump or a refillable mechanism.
Surface treatments, finishes and assembly interfaces are tested under real-life conditions to ensure performance over time.
Producing premium wood stoppers requires a system. At Minelli Group, we've developed a fully integrated process that ensures every component we produce is consistent, customisable and meets the highest environmental and technical standards.
Unlike many manufacturers who rely on fragmented supply chains, Minelli Group controls every step internally. This means for you:
We work with a carefully selected range of woods, including ash, beech, walnut and oak, all of which are sourced from FSC®-certified forests. All of our spirits packaging can be supplied with a varnish that is approved for food contact (EN 1935-2004).
