Packaging automation in Lévis grew up next to heavy industry, not instead of it. The city is already home to one of Canada's largest shipyards, an operation still running in the Lauzon borough of Lévis, and to the founding of what became the country's largest credit union network, launched from a private home in the city. That start was modest. That heavy-industrial, high-precision history primed Lévis for the food-manufacturing base it hosts today: a snack-food production plant running high-speed packaging equipment, one of eastern Canada's largest oil refineries, and an agricultural business research-and-development centre studying how the region's food producers can scale further. High-technology firms specializing in 3D scanning and measurement technology have also set up operations in the city, adding a precision-manufacturing layer to Lévis' industrial mix.
A snack-food plant running next to one of Canada's largest shipyards needs packaging equipment that can match that industrial tempo. PLAN IT's Mars Series VFFS baggers form, fill, and seal snack packaging at the speed Lévis' food-manufacturing base runs, and our case packers build and load shipping cases as pallets move out the door. Slow changeovers aren't an option at that pace. Our baggers hold the tempo shift after shift. A case study on our site walks through how one food producer scaled production this way without adding headcount. For the equipment specs, our VFFS packaging machine and automatic case packer pages have the details. Our Quebec location page and food and beverage industry page cover what we support elsewhere in the province, and our solutions page breaks down the scoping and install work once a project gets underway. We don't have a building in Lévis, but our team specs, installs, and supports this equipment directly for food manufacturers across Quebec.
