A meat-slaughtering and processing operation founded in Allentown in 1887 is still active in the city today, running the kind of volume that turns packaging automation into a daily requirement rather than a someday upgrade. The city built its reputation on heavy manufacturing: a truck maker relocated here in 1905 and eventually ran eight separate truck plants in the city, silk milling was Allentown's largest industry for decades and ran 85 mills by 1928, and a telecommunications-equipment plant in the city produced and released the world's first transistor in 1951. Allentown was also a major national beer-brewing center for much of the 20th century.
A meat-processing plant running that kind of volume needs case erectors and automatic case packers that hold pace with slaughter and cut-line output, plus metal detection and inspection to catch contamination before product leaves the building. A brewery or beverage bottler needs a different mix, typically Mars Series VFFS pouch or bag lines for any powdered or dry-mix side products, alongside case packing for bottles and cans. We serve your food and beverage line across Pennsylvania with both, engineering VFFS baggers, case packers, and checkweighing and inspection equipment around the product and run rate a plant actually has, with in-stock machines available when a plant needs a line running fast. In a city with Allentown's manufacturing memory, our solutions team sizes every packaging automation build around what the plant actually runs, not around a standard catalog spec.
