People often ask me, "What does the 'A' in A Packaging Systems stand for?"

The answer is that "A" really has several meanings.

"A" stands for American Made. When we began, we were having most of our filling machines and capping machines made in other countries. Oh, we carefully chose our manufacturers to get the quality that our customers deserved. The problem was that delivery schedules were outside of our control and each small change in the specifications could add 30 days on to the shipment time. And, I really don't even want to talk about getting service parts shipped from Europe or Asia in a timely manner..

A few years ago we started manufacturing our own machines, right here in La Porte, Indiana. Today, we are one of the leading manufacturers of liquid fillers, cappers, conveyors and labelers in America.

"A" is the grade we get for our quality. We know that our customers purchase equipment as money making assets. If it breaks down, it isn't making money. We custom engineer each machine to be durable, easy to operate and easy to maintain. Quality and durability are not just marketing terms. We back up our quality with the strongest guarantee in the industry.

"A" is the grade we get from our customers. We work hard to earn that grade every day, from fast delivery of equipment to quick, expert service. Our people are the best. Our customer service is unparalleled.

We work hard to earn our “A” every day. So we'll proudly continue to use it in our name.
