As we step confidently into 2026, we’re taking a moment to reflect on an incredible year behind us. 2025 was a defining year for Plan It Packaging—one filled with growth, innovation, customer collaboration, and major milestones across North America. None of it would have been possible without the trust of our partners, customers, and team members who continue to push packaging automation forward.
From launching next-generation equipment to expanding our footprint and connecting face-to-face with manufacturers across the continent, 2025 reinforced our mission: to engineer reliable automated packaging solutions that drive efficiency, productivity, and long-term growth.
And we’re just getting started.
In 2025, we continued to grow our teams across the United States—from Tampa to Las Vegas—strengthening our ability to support customers wherever their operations are located in North America.
This expansion allows us to:
Every step of our process is designed to empower our customers, and that commitment won’t slow down in 2026. Our growing team ensures that when you invest in automation, you’re backed by people who understand your goals and your production challenges.
Automation and robotics were front and center in 2025, highlighted by the launch of our second-generation PackMaster™ Cobot Palletizer.
This solution quickly gained traction with:
With its small footprint design, PackMaster™ proved to be a game-changer for facilities with limited or evolving floor space—making it one of the most competitive palletizing solutions on the market. For manufacturers exploring automation for the first time, we make the journey approachable and transparent. For more information on what it’s like to automate with us as a first-time buyer, take a look at what you can expect.
In March, our team headed to Pack Expo Southeast in Atlanta, showcasing a powerful lineup of automation solutions, including:
Meeting new and familiar faces made this show a memorable one and set the tone for a busy year ahead.
Custom projects were a major highlight this year—and a true testament to what’s possible with the right automation partner.
One standout project featured customers packaging a variety of gummy candies at speeds up to 500 PPM using a complete line of MarsRapid VFFS machines paired with 24H EliteWeigh Multi-Head Weighers.
Another favorite was a Fully Automated Robotic Case Packer / Tray Packer for Clamshells, running dates at 70 PPM with precision and consistency.
In May, we brought automation to the Sweets & Snacks Expo Supplier Showcase in Indianapolis, connecting with snack manufacturers and sweets enthusiasts while showcasing our flow wrapper machine.
These conversations continue to fuel new ideas, new partnerships, and new solutions tailored to the evolving snack market.
With more Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs) running out of our Tampa facility, we strengthened in-person collaboration with customers during the build and testing phases.
One great example: customers moving away from hand-counting gummies and embracing the EcoBagger Mini + EliteCount system. A food-grade conveyor smoothly guides gummies into the lightning-fast EliteCount counter, allowing exact portions of 1, 10, 20, or 40 pieces, all while packaging at up to 20 PPM.
This is automation that delivers speed, accuracy, and confidence.
In September, we connected with the bakery industry at the International Baking Exposition (IBIE) in Las Vegas, bringing:
Just weeks later, we returned to Las Vegas for Pack Expo, showcasing one of our most comprehensive lineups ever:
With many projects starting right on the show floor, it was an incredible way to close out the year and build momentum heading into 2026.
As new projects take off at the end of 2025 and into early 2026, we’re excited to partner with manufacturers ready to invest in automation with purpose—backed by industry knowledge, superior solutions, and exceptional customer support.
Here’s to a bright, productive, and prosperous New Year.
