About one-third of all the bourbon produced in the United States comes out of Louisville, and packaging automation is what keeps those bottling lines moving at the pace the industry needs. Cases have to be erected and packed at production speeds that match large-format distilling, then palletized fast enough to keep up with a metro that also hosts a global air-freight hub and the seventh-largest inland port in the country. Lines don't stop for repacking. Our automatic case erectors and case packers form and seal shipping cases fast enough to keep pace with that run rate, so a bottling or canning line never slows down waiting on boxes. PackMaster cobot palletizers add the next stage, stacking finished cases onto pallets without pulling a full crew off the floor.

A cluster of major whiskey producers operates in and around Louisville, including large-scale distilleries concentrated in the Shively area southwest of downtown, and that concentration means bottling and case-packing equipment has to be reliable enough to run multiple shifts without unplanned downtime. The same logistics advantage that serves bourbon exporters, fast access to national air and river freight, also draws in other food and beverage producers who need packaging lines sized for regional or national distribution rather than a single retail shelf. For a bottling or canning line running multiple shifts, we size automatic case erectors and packers to match that run rate. Other Louisville producers shipping dry goods or snacks through that same freight network run on Mars Series vertical form fill seal (VFFS) bagging or EcoBagger and RotoBagger pouch equipment instead. We support Louisville producers from machine selection through installation and service, even though we don't keep a building here.
