Tyler is nationally known for growing roses, celebrated every year at the Texas Rose Festival. Roses aren't the whole story. A regional supermarket chain runs its corporate headquarters and main distribution center out of south Tyler, and a subsidiary dairy-processing plant sits just northeast of the city, turning out dairy products at real volume. That combination, a grocery headquarters, a distribution hub and a working dairy plant, gives the city more packaging automation activity than most people would guess. Tyler's broader manufacturing base spans pipe manufacturing, heating and cooling equipment, oil refining and oilfield-service gear, but it's the grocery and dairy operations that line up directly with food and beverage packaging equipment.

Tyler's dairy processors know their product; we know how to fill and case it at line speed. Our Mars Series VFFS machines handle vertical form fill seal packaging for dairy and food products moving out of a plant like the one processing dairy northeast of Tyler, and our automatic case packers keep pace with a distribution center the size of the one the grocery chain runs out of south Tyler. If you're processing dairy or running distribution out of Tyler, you can draw on our full range of solutions, from filling to inspection. Tyler has no PLAN IT plant either, but the grocery-and-dairy combination running through south and northeast Tyler is exactly what we equip across the rest of Texas, with specifics on our Texas locations page and our solutions page.
