One of Canada's largest confectionery and pet-care manufacturers has run a major plant in Newmarket for decades, and a second longtime candy manufacturer produces here too, giving the town two large-scale confectionery operations inside its borders. Packaging equipment has real work to do on both lines. Electronics and automotive-parts manufacturers round out the town's industrial base alongside them, so Newmarket's economy carries more manufacturing weight than its retail strip suggests. Its downtown tells a separate story: Main Street lost business for decades as shopping migrated toward a large regional mall nearby, and a revitalization effort brought it back starting in the late 1980s.
We build our Pack Series horizontal flow wrappers and Mars Series VFFS machines for confectionery lines like the ones already running in Newmarket. A Pack Series flow wrapper seals candy bars, chocolates, and individually wrapped confections at high speed, while a Mars Series VFFS machine handles bagged candy and snack-size pet treats without slowing down a multi-shift line. Feeding systems keep both machine types running without a line worker manually loading product, useful when a confectionery plant runs multiple shifts. You know your confectionery and pet-treat recipes. We know how to flow-wrap and bag them shift after shift. Newmarket has no PLAN IT office. Confectionery and pet-care producers across York Region and the rest of Ontario still get the right flow wrapper or VFFS line from our solutions lineup, backed by service after installation.
