Little Rock runs a peanut-butter plant producing more than 3.5 million pounds a week, a new automated carton facility, and a major coffee roaster. PLAN IT engineers the auger fillers, pouch baggers, and checkweighers that keep pace with it.

More than 3.5 million pounds of peanut butter leave a single Little Rock plant every week, produced inside a 166,500-square-foot facility at the Port of Little Rock that runs with more than 160 employees. That committed line volume, one product, running around the clock, needs packaging equipment that never becomes the bottleneck between the fillers and the trucks. Little Rock has become a genuine hub for high-volume food and beverage packaging: a $100 million, fully automated carton-converting plant opened in the metro in 2025, producing cartons for liquid dairy, juice, plant-based drinks, and liquid eggs, with a second production line already planned for 2026. The city is also home to the country's largest integrated coffee, tea, and extract processor, headquartered in Little Rock with its own roasting and distribution operations in the metro.
Our EliteFill auger and powder fillers handle dense, sometimes sticky products by weight rather than volume, a fit for a plant running millions of pounds of one product a week without room for a filler that drifts out of tolerance, and our RotoBagger premade-pouch machines bag ground coffee and dry goods at the volume your roasting line needs. Our auger and powder-filling and premade-pouch category pages go deeper on machine specs, and our Arkansas location page and food and beverage industry page map out the wider regional market; our solutions page breaks down what happens once you send us your fill weights and case specs. PLAN IT keeps no local building here. Central Arkansas plants deal directly with the engineers who spec, ship, and install the equipment, no regional middleman.
