Newark is headquarters to both a major confectionery and snack manufacturer and one of the country's best-known kosher food producers, the kind of production that depends on packaging automation to keep moving at scale. That's an unusual pairing for one city, and it sits on top of an industrial base that goes back to the Ironbound neighborhood's 19th-century rise around the city's rail lines and docks. Newark grew fast through the 19th and early 20th centuries on that kind of industrial activity and weathered the mid-20th-century urban decline that followed. Its confectionery and kosher-food sector still runs real production volume today, needing packaging lines built for high-speed, high-consistency runs rather than a single format.

We build Pack Series flow wrappers and Mars Series VFFS baggers for exactly that kind of confectionery and baked-goods output, wrapping candy, snack and matzo-style products at the speed a national or regional distribution footprint demands. Newark's industrial land use today sits mostly in the East and South wards, clustered around Port Newark and Newark Liberty International Airport, a major logistics and distribution complex in New Jersey. For a confectionery or kosher-food producer packaging out of Newark, that proximity to port and air freight means packaging equipment has to keep pace with distribution as much as with production, since a slowdown on the line becomes a bottleneck at the dock. Confectionery and kosher-food lines don't run the same format, but we build packaging equipment for both to move at that pace. PLAN IT supplies flow wrappers, VFFS baggers, stick pack and sachet machines for the confectionery side, backed by the full range of solutions needed to get your product palletized and moving through Newark's logistics hub without added labor.
