Stamford, a city of 128,874 people, sits at the northern edge of the Fairfield County corridor that runs up from New York City, and it has turned that position into one of the densest corporate-headquarters clusters in the country, including five Fortune 500 companies as of 2017. Two of those headquarters sit inside PLAN IT's household and personal-care markets: a personal-care and small-appliance company and a household and cleaning-products company both run their operations from Stamford. A bottled-water and beverage company and a mailing and shipping equipment manufacturer round out the roster.

Packaging automation decisions for household, personal-care, and beverage products get made in Stamford even when the manufacturing happens elsewhere in the corridor, a byproduct of headquarters density like this. Auger fillers handle powders and granular personal-care and household products with the dosing accuracy those categories require, and case sealers close and seal shipping cases fast enough to match a national distribution schedule set from a Stamford office, not a single plant floor. Household and personal-care shipments also move through contract packagers spread across the same corridor, another layer of demand for equipment that can run unattended shift after shift. Our solutions team keeps auger-filling and case-sealing equipment in stock so you can hit that schedule regardless of where in Connecticut or the wider Fairfield County corridor your line runs.
