Poultry runs Fayetteville's economy today. It's been the region's dominant agricultural industry since the middle of the 20th century, when railroads were already hauling the area's timber, farm goods, and manufactured products to market. One of Arkansas's five Fortune 500 companies runs its poultry operations from the metro next door and shows up among Fayetteville's own top employers, and the University of Arkansas backs the industry with a poultry-science program ranked among the top five in the country. For food packaging equipment buyers, that's a demanding customer base: high-volume lines moving raw and processed chicken through weighing, bagging, and casing stations every shift. A separate packaged-foods company also ranked among the city's top employers for years, reinforcing food production as a second mainstay of the local job base.

We serve Fayetteville and the rest of Arkansas's poultry corridor from outside the metro, specifying and installing equipment built for exactly this kind of throughput. Chicken doesn't wait. Mars Series VFFS baggers handle the forming and sealing on poultry portions and value-added chicken cuts, with automatic case packers picking up the finished bags right behind them and grouping them into shipping cases without adding headcount. A case study on how one food producer scaled production with PLAN IT's systems shows the same jump in output that poultry processors here are usually chasing. If you're scaling a single line into a second shift, our full solutions lineup covers the bagging, case packing, and inspection equipment a poultry operation needs to keep pace.
