Pacific Packaging Machinery

About Pacific Packaging

Pacific Packaging Machinery Inc. began building rotary volumetric filling machines for food and non-food products in 1962. Initially our fillers dealt with mostly viscous products -- mayonnaise, margarine, peanut butter and face cream.

Close to 45 years later, we have expanded our filler capabilities to address all liquid filling applications: Foods, Pourable Dressings, Personal Care, Home Care, Automotive and Pharmaceutical.

Read some of our highlights and see a selection of our various fillers in our sample video.
