A Lexington packaging buyer running jarred, bottled, or bagged product at real volume needs packaging equipment that won't buckle under a full production shift. The city is home to the world's largest peanut-butter production facility, built in 1946 and expanded with a $43 million upgrade in 2013, still turning out every variety of jar that leaves the plant. A craft brewery and distillery based in Lexington bottles roughly 30,000 barrels of beer a year under its own label, running alongside that jar-filling operation as two very different production lines in the same city. Neither runs like the other.
PLAN IT's automatic case packers carton finished peanut-butter jars and bottled spirits alike, sized to run at the pace a plant like this expects, while Mars Series VFFS baggers handle bagged and pouched product for the wider Kentucky food and beverage industry. You're filling peanut-butter jars or bottling craft spirits at real volume; we build the case packers and VFFS baggers that keep pace with either line. Both machine types ship in-stock, which matters when a producer running jars at this pace can't afford the lead time a custom build would add. Our Kentucky location page and our food and beverage industry page cover the regional market, and our VFFS and automatic case packer category pages detail machine specifications; our solutions page walks through what a jar-filling or bottling line like Lexington's takes to get running. PLAN IT doesn't operate a Lexington showroom. You'll work directly with us on sourcing, integration, and service instead.
