One of the nation's largest independent beverage bottlers runs a bottling plant in Fayetteville, feeding output onto trucks at a pace few standalone packaging lines are built to match. An animal-feed manufacturer invested $6.5 million to open its first-ever production facility here in 2026, creating 25 direct jobs to turn food waste and agricultural byproducts into feed blends. National retailers operate large-scale distribution and fulfillment space nearby, including a fulfillment center topping 1.3 million square feet, and local economic-development plans name food processing as one of the region's target industries alongside advanced manufacturing and logistics, which tracks with what is already running in the metro.

Our Mars Series VFFS machines bag feed blends and dry ingredients at the volume your new facility needs to hit, and our automatic case packers take your bottled or bagged product from the end of the line into shippable, palletized cases at the pace your bottling plant already runs at. Our case study on a food producer that scaled up production with PLAN IT equipment already on the line is a useful reference point here. A bottling line running at the pace of one of the nation's largest independent beverage bottlers, and a feed-blend plant built on a fresh $6.5 million investment, both need a VFFS and case-packing cell sized to match, not a smaller stock unit. Our North Carolina location page and food and beverage industry page cover the regional market in more depth, our vertical form fill seal and automatic case packers category pages detail machine specs, and our solutions page walks through how PLAN IT scopes a project. Cumberland County has no PLAN IT office. Every call still reaches the engineers who scope and install the line, not a call center.
