The beer, soda, and energy bars stocked in refrigerators and vending racks across the Inland Northwest depend on packaging equipment somewhere upstream, and a good share of that upstream work sits in Spokane Valley. A regional beverage distributor runs a 92,000-square-foot facility here moving a national beer brand's volume, and was planning a 205,000-square-foot distribution center near Spokane International Airport. A major soft-drink bottler operates a bottling and distribution site in the city, and another national beverage company runs a facility of its own nearby. Alongside all that bottling and distribution, a contract manufacturer turns out energy bars, granola, and trail mix at a plant in the Spokane Business & Industrial Park.
That mix, heavy beverage distribution next to a working snack-bar co-packer, lines up well with what we build. Our Pack Series flow wrappers and stick-pack machines handle the bar, granola, and trail-mix formats that co-packer runs every shift, our Mars Series VFFS baggers cover any loose granola or trail mix that ships in pouches instead of wrappers, and case packers plus our PackMaster cobot palletizers load and stack cases for the beer and soft-drink volume moving through the city's distribution sites. No line here waits on a changeover. That energy-bar operation would find good company in the case study on our site, which follows another co-packer's shift to automated production. Our Washington location page covers how we support bottling lines and co-packers like this one across the state, and our food and beverage industry page goes deeper into the bottling and co-packing equipment we build. Every recommendation on our solutions page starts with a look at what's already moving through Spokane Valley's distribution docks, matched to what a beverage distributor or snack-bar co-packer in this part of the Inland Northwest actually needs.
