Reno's economy runs increasingly on distribution rather than raw production, but that doesn't reduce the demand for packaging automation upstream. A 795,000-square-foot pet-food and pet-product e-commerce fulfillment center just north of downtown Reno, the thirteenth of its kind opened by a national operator, employs close to a thousand workers moving dog treat packaging, dry food, and pet-care goods through the building daily. That volume sits inside the broader Reno-Sparks I-80 corridor, which has grown into one of the busiest food-and-beverage and CPG distribution and cold-storage hubs in the western United States, anchored by large-scale cold-storage and third-party-logistics operations serving producers well beyond city limits.
Reno still makes things, too. Nevada's oldest continuously operating brewery, running for more than thirty years out of the Reno-Sparks area, still brews and bottles on site, and its bottling line runs at the mid-volume pace our Pack Series flow wrappers and case packers are built for. For the pet-food companies and co-packers feeding that fulfillment corridor, our Mars Series VFFS baggers and RotoBagger premade-pouch machines handle kibble, treats, and powdered supplements at the speeds distribution centers expect. PLAN IT has no office in Reno; these lines ship pre-configured for the I-80 corridor's fulfillment and cold-storage volume, installed and serviced from our Toronto and Tampa teams. Tell us what's moving through your line, and we'll match it to the right bagging or pouch setup.
