Food and beverage plants make up just over half of our Illinois coverage, six of eleven cities including Chicago, Aurora, and Naperville, with general industrial product close behind at three cities and one city each running confectionery and health and medical manufacturing. That mix means we quote a wide equipment range across the state even though the city count itself is modest.
A weigher upstream of a bagger covers most of the food and beverage side, while general industrial plants spend on cartons and pallets instead of scales, running product straight into a case packer and then a palletizer. The confectionery plant wraps its bars and molded pieces on a flow wrapper instead of a bagger, since that format needs film wrapped around the outside rather than formed into a tube, and the health and medical manufacturer doses product through a stick pack and sachet machine, both finishing with a checkweigher before cartons close.
Illinois projects open with a free consultation about what the plant actually produces. The machine earns its shipping date by running the plant's actual product here first, whether it is headed to a plant in Rockford, Peoria, Springfield, or another Illinois city on our list. The machines themselves get engineered out of Mississauga, just outside Toronto, and get backed afterward by a customer experience group headquartered in Tampa.
