Plano began in the early 1840s as a small settlement built around a sawmill, a gristmill and a general store, and it later took its name from the Spanish word for the flat terrain around it. That agricultural start is a long way from the Plano of today, a city that anchors a stretch of Fortune 1000 corporate campuses along Legacy Drive in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and hosts the headquarters of one of the country's leading snack-food manufacturers. A corporate address doesn't operate packaging equipment on its own, but a headquarters of that size typically means significant regional production, co-manufacturing and distribution activity tied to it, and packaging automation does its work at that production layer.

For snack-food producers and co-packers operating in or supplying that corridor, we build the machines that keep production matched to demand, from Mars Series VFFS baggers and Pack Series horizontal flow wrappers sized for chip, cracker and snack-food runs to automatic case packers and PackMaster cobot palletizers handling the end of the line once product is bagged. Snack packaging machines are only as good as the changeover time between formats, and our baggers and wrappers are built to move between bag sizes and film types without a full line stoppage. Plano's role as a corporate hub for food and beverage and consumer packaged goods manufacturers in North Texas, alongside its manufacturing neighbors across the metroplex, makes it a natural base for evaluating packaging equipment before a build-out or a plant expansion. Plano's snack-food headquarters runs on its own recipes and its own production schedule, and our part is matching bagging and wrapping speed to whatever a Fortune 1000 supply chain demands. From a single VFFS bagger for a new snack line to a full case-packing and palletizing cell for an existing plant, we move your project from quote to production quickly.
