A Milton bakery or frozen-food plant running near capacity needs packaging automation that will not become the next bottleneck, and the town's food-manufacturing base has needed exactly that kind of upgrade for years. Milton Heights and the community once known as Peru were never farm villages. They ran on industry instead. A lumber mill operated from the 1850s to 1877, a saw mill ran alongside it, and a quarrying operation that from the 1880s produced lime, limestone and bricks at a scale that mattered province-wide at its peak. Long-established local manufacturers today make baked goods, frozen fruit desserts and other packaged foods, alongside an auto-parts stamping plant employing roughly 950 people and a large food-distribution operation.

That manufacturing base sits inside a logistics corridor that has added well over a million square feet of new warehouse and distribution space in recent years, including consumer-goods warehousing, automotive-parts distribution, and speculative industrial development built for advanced manufacturing and logistics tenants at the Derry Green Business Park. Shelf life and fragility aren't negotiable on a Milton bakery line running next to a 950-person stamping plant at the same pace. PLAN IT's baggers and case packers are built around holding both. We don't operate a location in Milton itself, only the machines already installed on these lines: Mars Series VFFS baggers for bagging bakery and confectionery product at line speed, and automatic case packers for moving that product into cases fast enough to match the region's distribution pace. See the Mars Series VFFS and automatic case packer categories for the equipment itself, the Ontario location page and food and beverage industry page for our regional presence, and our solutions page for the complete lineup.
