Nashville draws packaging automation demand from two different directions: a major automaker's largest North American assembly plant, and a cluster of Nashville-based restaurant and food-company headquarters setting purchasing decisions from the same metro. The metro carries more of that demand than its reputation for music and healthcare suggests. That automaker moved its North American corporate headquarters to a Nashville suburb in 2006, and its largest North American assembly plant runs in another suburb nearby. A national tire maker is headquartered in the city itself, and Nashville is also home to the corporate offices of several restaurant and food companies. We supply packaging automation built for both sides of that mix: automatic case packers and PackMaster cobot palletizers for auto-parts and industrial-goods lines, case erectors, checkweighers, and metal detectors for food producers shipping product out of the region, and Mars Series VFFS baggers for packaged snack and prepared-food producers across the wider region.

We work directly with Tennessee manufacturers on both sides of that split: an auto-parts line's case packer and a food producer's checkweigher line rarely share a spec sheet, let alone a machine. A checkweigher catches an underweight case before it leaves the dock; a PackMaster cobot palletizer stacks cases for cross-country freight without adding a full shift of manual labor; a metal detector or x-ray system flags contamination before product reaches a customer. Food headed for grocery or foodservice and auto components headed for an assembly plant travel through the same kind of packaging step, built to a different spec for each.
