A case-ready beef and pork processing plant has operated in Calgary since 2009, packaging meat that ships to several of the country's largest grocery chains, and its capacity has grown steadily since it first opened. We build packaging automation, the focus of our food and beverage page, for the processors behind that kind of output. Calgary's food-processing base extends past meat, with a brewing operation in the city's southeast and a dairy processor that has made products here since 1969.

Scaling up rarely means adding headcount at the same rate. Our case study on a food producer that automated instead of hired makes that point, and it holds for Calgary's meat, dairy, and brewing plants as volume grows. You know Calgary's meat, dairy, and brewing lines. Our equipment bags and cases what comes off them, tray by tray and bottle by bottle. Our automatic case packers, broken down on our case-packer page, carton meat trays, bottled beverages, and dairy containers for shipment to grocery retailers, while our Mars Series VFFS baggers, shown on our VFFS page, handle bagged and portioned meat, snack, and dairy products. Our Alberta page and solutions page cover the rest, from regional reach to what a project looks like once that first call turns into a working line. Calgary has no PLAN IT office of its own; Alberta's food processors reach us instead for sourcing, integration, and service.
