For more than 150 years, Ganong Bros. has been part of Canada’s confectionery story. From iconic products like Chicken Bones and Pal-o-Mine to modern co-manufacturing partnerships across North America, the company has continued to evolve while staying rooted in quality, tradition, and innovation.
Today, we are proud to share that PLAN IT Packaging has been featured alongside Ganong Bros. in the April/May issue of Canadian Packaging magazine, highlighting a recent automation project designed to help support Ganong’s growing production demands.
As demand for Ganong’s confectionery and co-manufacturing services continued to grow, the company identified an opportunity to expand its packaging capacity while improving operational efficiency and redundancy.
To support this initiative, PLAN IT Packaging supplied and integrated:
The result was a packaging solution designed to improve throughput, flexibility, sanitation, and uptime while helping Ganong continue scaling production efficiently.
One of the key goals of the project was to avoid relying on a single high-output packaging system.
Instead, PLAN IT Packaging recommended four completely independent bagging lines. This approach provided Ganong with:
As highlighted in the article, this configuration allowed Ganong to exceed its original throughput expectations while maintaining continuous production capabilities if one line required servicing or maintenance.
“If one line does go down for any reason, at least you still have other lines up and running.”— Sal Choudhary, Sales Manager, PLAN IT Packaging
The installed Mars Rapid VFFS baggers were designed to support high-speed pouch production while maintaining sanitation and accessibility for operators.
Key system features included:
The ELITEWEIGH 24H multihead weighers also provided Ganong with increased weighing accuracy and versatility for handling a variety of candy and snack products.
According to the article, the new system helped Ganong achieve approximately 2.5 times the output of its previous packaging process.
One of the most important themes discussed throughout the feature was the role automation plays in supporting employees, not replacing them.
Ganong emphasized that automation investments are helping the company grow production while creating opportunities to upskill staff and improve engagement by reducing repetitive manual tasks.
This philosophy strongly aligns with PLAN IT Packaging’s approach to automation: implementing systems that help manufacturers improve efficiency, consistency, food safety, and operational reliability while empowering their teams for long-term success.
This project represents more than the installation of packaging equipment. It reflects the value of collaborative partnerships, thoughtful system design, and scalable automation strategies tailored to each manufacturer’s goals.
We are grateful to the Ganong Bros. team for the opportunity to support this exciting phase of growth and proud to see the project featured in Canadian Packaging magazine.
The full story dives deeper into Ganong’s incredible history, their approach to modernization, and the collaborative packaging automation project completed with PLAN IT Packaging.

PLAN IT Packaging specializes in weighing, bagging, flow wrapping, case packing, end‑of‑line robotics, and palletizing solutions, delivering fully integrated systems designed for modern, high‑performance production environments. The expanded facility will further support these core competencies by enabling larger builds, more parallel projects, and enhanced engineering collaboration.
The company now operates three facilities across North America:
Together, these locations reinforce PLAN IT Packaging’s long‑term investment in infrastructure, customer support, and scalable operations as it continues its trajectory toward becoming the premier North American leader in packaging automation and robotics.
The expansion also significantly grows PLAN IT Packaging’s Customer Experience Center, providing more room for equipment demonstrations, live product testing, and hands‑on evaluations of the latest packaging innovations. This environment allows customers to validate solutions in real time and collaborate directly with the PLAN IT team to optimize their production goals.
"Expanding our Toronto/Mississauga facility is another important step in our commitment to building a stronger, faster, and more capable organization for our clients,” said Jonathan Ballard, Vice President of Business Development. “This growth allows us to improve how we build, support, and demonstrate solutions while continuing to invest in the customer experience.

At PLAN IT Packaging, we believe preventative maintenance should be more than a routine service call. It should be a strategic investment in the performance, longevity, and reliability of your equipment.
That is why our Comprehensive Preventative Maintenance Plans are not built around a generic checklist. They are designed around your specific machinery, your operating environment, your product applications, and your team’s needs. Every visit is structured to make the best possible use of your time, helping you reduce downtime, improve performance, and keep your production moving with confidence.
Whether you are running snack foods, bakery, produce, coffee, frozen products, confectionery, or other packaged goods, our service team works with you to deliver maintenance support that is practical, productive, and tailored to your operation.
A traditional PM program often focuses on the basics and stops there. At PLAN IT Packaging, we take a more comprehensive approach.
Our preventative maintenance plans can include a combination of services such as:
This means your PM visit is not just about checking components. It is about identifying opportunities to improve reliability, strengthen operator confidence, and prevent avoidable issues before they impact production.
No two facilities operate the same way. No two machines are used the same way. And no two production teams need the exact same type of support.
Some customers may need a detailed inspection focused on wear items, lubrication, and electrical systems. Others may benefit more from ongoing operator training, process review, or support organizing manuals and technical documentation so their teams can work more effectively between service visits.
Our PM plans are designed to meet your operation where it is today while helping prepare it for where it needs to go tomorrow.
That means we focus on what is most valuable for your business, including:
The result is a maintenance plan that works harder for you because it is built specifically for your operation.
Scheduled downtime is valuable.Our goal is to help you use it wisely.
When your team sets aside time for preventative maintenance, we make sure that time is used in the most effective way possible. Instead of applying the same formula to every customer, we prioritize the work that will have the greatest impact on your line’s performance and your team’s success.
That could mean:
It is a smarter, more useful approach to preventative maintenance—one designed to protect uptime and support long-term equipment health.
When packaging systems are properly maintained, businesses benefit from more than just fewer breakdowns.
A strong preventative maintenance program can help:
Simply put, a well-executed PM plan helps your equipment perform the way it was designed to perform—consistently, efficiently, and with fewer surprises.
Our preventative maintenance plans are designed to support your operation beyond the service visit itself.
That is why we also look for ways to provide additional value through:
Because the best maintenance programs do not just react to equipment issues. They help your team stay ahead of them.
At PLAN IT Packaging, service should be useful, not generic.
Our preventative maintenance plans are built to deliver real value where your business needs it most.
Whether your operation needs inspection support, training, documentation review, machine health checks, or all of the above, our team is here to help you protect your investment and keep your packaging systems running at their best.
