For decades, Irving's economy has run on manufacturing plants and corporate headquarters operating alongside its transportation, retail, and financial businesses, and packaging equipment demand here splits across more than one industry. The city is headquarters to a major personal-care and household paper-products maker and to a leading specialty-chemicals producer, and in 2022 a large construction and mining equipment manufacturer announced it would relocate its own headquarters to Irving as well. A major pharmaceutical distributor and an industrial-chemical firm are based here too. Most of that headquarters roster ships chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and heavy equipment that never touches a PLAN IT line. What does are the personal-care paper goods and the poultry moving through a working processing plant in the city, and those two product lines call for different equipment: flow wrapping for one, food-grade case packing and inspection for the other.

Alongside those headquarters operations, Irving runs a working poultry-processing plant. That combination, personal-care paper goods on one side and food processing on the other, maps onto two different PLAN IT production lines. Pack Series flow wrappers handle the individually wrapped paper and personal-care items moving off a household-goods line, while Mars Series VFFS baggers and automatic case packers keep pace with poultry output that needs to move from processing floor to shipping case quickly and consistently. Metal detectors and checkweighers add a food-safety layer for a plant handling raw poultry at volume. Irving producers can put that experience to work: browse our Texas locations page, our food and beverage industry page, our VFFS packaging machines, our automatic case packers, and our full range of packaging solutions to find the fit for your lines in a corporate-headquarters town running more than one product category.
