Kelowna's food and beverage sector leans on packaging automation matched to what the Okanagan Valley grows around it. A local fruit-bar and juice producer turns orchard fruit into packaged snacks and juice, and dozens of wineries around the city bottle wines that have earned international recognition, together making Kelowna the commercial center of British Columbia's leading fruit and wine-growing region. Filling and sealing that volume is where PLAN IT's EcoBagger premade-pouch machines fit, forming and sealing pouches for juice and fruit snacks at production speed, while case erecting and sealing keeps bottled wine moving toward the loading dock.

That fruit and wine economy runs deep. Orchard planting took hold in the Okanagan in the 1870s, building on Father Pandosy's 1859 mission, the valley's first European settlement, and commercial fruit-growing was firmly established by the 1890s, well before Kelowna's 1905 incorporation. At least two major wineries near Kelowna were destroyed in the 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park Fire and rebuilt, evidence of an industry that keeps investing in local production even after setbacks. Kelowna's growers and vintners have the harvest under control; packaging it at speed is what we bring to the job. Our PackMaster cobot palletizers stack filled bottles and juice cartons onto pallets ready for shipment, matching whatever volume your harvest season sends through the line. Our British Columbia location page, food and beverage industry page, VFFS machine category, automatic case packer lineup, and full solutions page cover the rest, since we have no office in Kelowna itself but ship in-stock equipment to growers and vintners across the valley.
