Bloomington's industrial footprint didn't start with medicine. Decades of manufacturing built the city's factory floors first: an elevator-component plant that ran for nearly fifty years, a color-television assembly plant, a refrigerator factory, and a furniture factory that once employed hundreds. Those buildings didn't stay empty. The old elevator plant now houses a plastics manufacturer that molds lids and caps, one of the more literal packaging-components operations you'll find in a single city, and the former television factory is now a working pharmaceutical plant producing medicine packaged with modern packaging equipment. Layered on top of that is Bloomington's real specialty: life sciences. The region's life-sciences employment concentration runs six times the national average, anchored by a major device manufacturer producing catheters, stents, and related medical devices.
That mix of precision manufacturing and life-sciences density is exactly what PLAN IT builds for. If you're packaging single-dose medical or pharmaceutical products, you'll lean on stick pack machines to portion consistent doses, and check weighers to catch fill variance before it leaves the plant. Plastics manufacturers packaging molded components in bulk need dependable case handling and inspection too. We supply and service that equipment for producers across Indiana's health and medical sector, from a device maker scaling a new product line to a pharma plant replacing gear that can't keep pace with current volumes. PLAN IT keeps no office in Bloomington itself, but our team specs, installs, and supports stick pack lines and check weigher systems for manufacturers throughout the region.
