Berkeley's packaging automation story starts with geography. The city sits at the northern edge of the East Bay's old waterfront manufacturing corridor, where wharf-side industry took root in the 1870s in what became West Berkeley, once the city's industrial core before much of that ground gave way to retail and office space. That same city produced a specialty coffee company that opened its original storefront roastery in 1966 and an energy bar and energy-food maker that started and was based in Berkeley before its production moved elsewhere. A restaurant widely credited as the birthplace of California cuisine operates in Berkeley too, and the city is home to a major public research university, giving it a food culture that runs well past its old industrial waterfront.

We serve California's powder, granular, and pouch-packaged food and beverage producers with EliteFill auger and powder fillers sized to fine or coarse product, and EcoBagger and RotoBagger premade-pouch bagging machines for stand-up pouches, flat bags, and single-serve formats. A coffee roaster filling ground and whole-bean pouches needs different fill accuracy and dust control than an energy-food maker running bar-wrap or pouch lines, and we spec each machine to the product it is actually running rather than one generic line. Machines are available in stock for smaller Berkeley-area producers who need to move fast, and our solutions team fits fill accuracy and bag style to what your plant is producing.
