A dairy or egg processor running close to half of British Columbia's milk and egg output needs a packaging line that doesn't miss a shift. Abbotsford-area agricultural sales show why that volume keeps growing, from about $635 million in 2010 to nearly $1 billion by 2021, in a region the Conference Board of Canada has called one of the most economically diverse in the country. Agriculture sits alongside transportation, manufacturing, and retail as Abbotsford's core industries, and the city earns the highest agricultural revenue per acre of any locality in Canada, ahead of the Niagara Region and North Okanagan. The province's own Animal Health Centre, based at the Abbotsford Agriculture Centre and including a Biosafety Level 3 lab, backs that production as the leading full-service accredited veterinary diagnostic lab in Western Canada.

Running that much dairy and egg volume without a hiccup takes a packaging line that can keep pace. PLAN IT's Mars Series VFFS baggers form, fill, and seal bagged and pouched dairy and egg product at speed, and our case packers load shipping cases for retailers across the province. Abbotsford's dairy producers already track milk volume to the tanker load; our job is keeping a filling line matched to it, day for day. The output keeps growing. Our case study describes a food producer that scaled output without adding headcount, a challenge any growing dairy or egg operation eventually faces. Our British Columbia location page and food and beverage industry page map out what we support province-wide. The VFFS packaging machine and automatic case packer category pages carry individual machine specs, and our solutions page maps the steps between a first conversation and a line running at full tanker-load pace. PLAN IT runs no office out of Abbotsford, though we work with British Columbia's dairy, egg, and food producers on spec, install, and support.
