ProMach brings "Built to Run as One" to PACK EXPO International 2026.

ProMach brings "Built to Run as One" to PACK EXPO International 2026. An interactive InLine Kiosk, a new focused-market booth experience, and an award-nominated new machine headline ProMach's presence at this year's show. October 06, 2026 08:12 ET | Source: ProMach CHICAGO, IL, Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - ProMach, a global portfolio of 60 best-in-class processing and packaging brands, will showcase its "Built to Run as One" story at PACK EXPO International 2026, October 18-21 at McCormick Place in Chicago at the ProMach Pavilion (Booth S-3630), bringing new equipment, new product brands, and a new interactive booth experience to the show floor. ProMach is presenting the Pavilion (Booth S-3630) as islands that mirror the stages of a real production line, from filling and capping to labeling and end-of-line packaging, giving attendees a tangible sense of both the breadth and depth of their portfolio as they move from one island to the next. "Built to Run as One is how we think about serving our customers as we grow," said Scott Smith, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing & Commercial Operations at ProMach. "For years we've been strategically filling in capability, one core segment of the production line at a time: processing, filling, capping, labeling, end of line. What that produces is a global portfolio with real depth in each of those areas. For example, a customer needs a filler that matches their specifications, and having a range of filling technologies under one roof is what lets us answer that. Every solution we add and every machine we build is meant to connect to and expand what's already there." Anchoring the experience is the InLine Kiosk, a self-guided digital checkpoint that draws on the full breadth of the global portfolio: attendees answer a few quick questions about what they're packaging and are instantly matched to the ProMach solutions built for their line. "We want attendees to experience our portfolio the way our machines are meant to be used, together as one connected line," said Greg Jakobek, Director of Corporate Marketing at ProMach. "The InLine Kiosk matches customers to the right ProMach solutions in minutes, and Follow the Line lets them engage with our brands to see exactly how those solutions work together for their specific market." Follow the Line is a focused-market tour of the booth, tracing the process from start to end of line for a specific product across seven distinct markets: Liquid Foods, Ready-to-Drink, Wine & Spirits, Pet Care, Contract Packaging, Pharma & Life Sciences, and Protein. Dozens of machines on the floor carry unique market badges marking the vertical they serve, and the same badges are worn by ProMach subject matter experts guiding each stop, turning the booth into a walkable tour across all seven areas. Headlining the new equipment on display is the Zacmi Be-Fill(TM) Can Filler, named a finalist for PMMI's 2026 Technology Excellence Awards in the General Packaging & Processing category. It joins a full lineup of new innovations from across the ProMach portfolio, featured at the booth's Innovation Station. ProMach also welcomes five new brands to its booth's Pavilion this year: American Holt, DMA Solution, Pride Engineering, Lako, and Evolution, each adding depth to ProMach's aftermarket and line-support capabilities. The show also reflects ProMach's growing commitment to aftermarket performance through Lifecycle Solutions, its newest business line dedicated to keeping customers' lines running at peak performance long after installation, through parts, service, and proactive support. That same idea, meeting customers where they are and helping them find exactly what their line needs, underscores the Built to Run as One message.

Earl Wohlrab promoted to Vice President of Applications for End of Line group.

Earl Wohlrab promoted to Vice President of Applications for End of Line group. Oct 02, 2026 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Alexandria, MN, October 2026 - Earl Wohlrab has been promoted to Vice President of Applications for ProMach's End of Line group. In his expanded role, Wohlrab will help applications teams develop cohesive packaging solutions that bring together the capabilities and expertise of multiple ProMach brands. Wohlrab brings 30 years of experience in end-of-line automation. Since joining Brenton as Director of Applications & Concepting, he has helped establish processes that support business growth while improving the speed and consistency of concept development and commercial support. His new role extends that work across the End of Line portfolio. He will report to Landen Stoker, SVP of ProMach's Robotics & End of Line divisions. As collaboration across ProMach brands grows, so do opportunities to deliver complete systems that connect multiple packaging operations. Developing a coordinated concept early in the process helps teams address how equipment will work together, align with customer requirements, and present a clear solution from the outset. Wohlrab will work with applications teams at Brenton, Quest, and Edson while remaining closely involved with the existing teams he has been supporting, Brenton and Orion. His role will build on each team's strengths, supporting collaboration and sharing effective practices while applications leaders continue to report within their respective divisions. Throughout his career, Wohlrab has led cross-functional teams focused on depalletizing, palletizing, and robotic systems. He has also established disciplined product development and innovation strategies and served a term on the board of the Robotic Industries Association. That experience gives him a broad understanding of both individual technologies and how they come together within a complete packaging system. Wohlrab's promotion strengthens the End of Line group's ability to connect technical expertise across brands, supporting the development of integrated packaging solutions built around customers' products, production requirements and operational goals. About Brenton. A leader in servo technology packaging applications, Brenton engineers and manufactures case packing equipment, shrink-wrapping machines, robotic packaging systems, custom packaging systems, and product handling equipment for the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, personal care, and household products industries. Brenton also manufactures the Currie line of conventional and robotic palletizers. Brenton is a product brand of ProMach, a global leader in packaging line solutions.
