Akron's food-manufacturing base includes a confectioner that's been making handcrafted candies and caramel corn in the city for more than seventy years, and a nut-roasting company that's been producing trail mixes and chocolate- and yogurt-coated snacks here since 1972. Packaging automation is what lets both keep pace with demand without giving up the batch quality that built their names. The nut and trail-mix producer needs accurate, high-speed weighing before every bag gets sealed, so coated pieces of different sizes and densities still land on the same net weight. The candy maker's caramel corn and handcrafted chocolate lines run smaller batches, but at a level of consistency a manual line struggles to hold once volume climbs. Handcrafted doesn't mean slow.

We build the machines suited to exactly this kind of production. If your caramel corn line still runs by hand, our EliteWeigh multihead weighers pair with Pack Series flow wrappers to portion and wrap candy, caramel corn, and coated snack pieces at speed, while our Mars Series VFFS machines bag trail mixes, nuts, and snack-size portions without slowing for changeovers. You know when a batch of caramel corn is right; we know the weigher that repeats it exactly, bag after bag. Our confectionery industry page and the Ohio location page fill in the regional detail behind both producers, while the flow-wrapping and vertical form fill seal category pages spell out what each machine handles.

You won't find our address in Akron, only a service area that covers candy and snack manufacturers throughout northeast Ohio.
