O'Fallon's packaging history runs back to 1881, when a pharmacy-supply manufacturer set up shop making prescription bags and labels for druggists across the Midwest. That company is still making pharmacy packaging today, now producing pillcards, heat- and cold-seal medication cards, and controlled unit-dose systems for pharmacy customers. Packaging automation matters here for a simple reason. O'Fallon has grown into Missouri's most populous suburb, population 91,316, and manufacturing has stayed one of its core sectors alongside education, health care, and finance. A second manufacturer in town, a global producer of liquid and dry flavor-enhancer coatings for pet food, feeds ingredients into pet-food plants around the world from its O'Fallon facility, part of a small network that includes a sister plant in Aurora, Missouri.

We build machinery for exactly this kind of work. Unit-dose medication cards and controlled-dose pharmacy packs are a natural fit for our EcoBagger stick pack and sachet machines, which hold tight, repeatable fill weights on small-format packaging. Our EliteWeigh checkweighers add a verification layer pharmacy packagers often need, catching underfilled or overfilled units before they ship. On the pet-food side, the dry half of those palatant coatings runs well through our EliteFill auger fillers, which handle powders and granular ingredients without the clumping or waste that slows down manual lines; the liquid side calls for different fill technology. PLAN IT keeps no facility in O'Fallon itself; we ship, install, and support these systems here from our Toronto and Tampa operations, the same way we do for manufacturers across Missouri. If your O'Fallon plant is filling, weighing, or bagging product by hand, or your current line can't keep up with order volume, we can walk through what a retrofit or new system looks like for your floor.
