Ajax's food-processing story starts with ingredient distribution. A baking-ingredient distributor headquartered in town has supplied more than 4,000 baking ingredients and supply products to industrial bakeries, foodservice operators, and retailers across Canada and the U.S. since it was founded in 1936, long before packaging equipment became a growth conversation here. That distribution base helped lay the groundwork for the more than ten bakeries and additional food manufacturers now operating in Ajax, enough that the town's economic development office has designated food and beverage processing a target growth sector.

Several of those businesses make products built for automated wrapping and case-ready shipping: cookies, snack bakes, and Mediterranean-style foods among them. Our Pack Series flow wrapping and horizontal form fill seal machines seal product at the pace a growing bakery cluster needs, and our case study on achieving precision in cookie packaging shows how tight a fit that can be for baked goods specifically. Case packers close out the line for shipment, which matters in a town now adding more than two million square feet of new industrial and logistics space along the Highway 401 corridor. That growth-sector designation didn't happen because every bakery in town runs an identical line, and a flow wrapper built for a cookie run rarely fits a snack-bake run without changes. Speed is the whole job. For a bakery scaling past its current flow wrapper, we spec the replacement around the cookie or snack line already running, not a standard catalog model. Our baked goods industries page and solutions page walk through the flow-wrap and case-packing options; the Ontario location page covers how we serve the rest of Durham Region.
