Core offering

Pacteon Group provides end-of-line packaging automation solutions through four subsidiary brands, designing, manufacturing, and integrating cartoners, case packers, conveyors, robotic palletizers, and stretch wrappers. The company sells custom-configured industrial packaging equipment complemented by full line integration services, FANUC robotic integration, and proprietary software (OptiStak, ProAdjust) for pallet pattern management and automated changeover. Customers include manufacturers in food, beverage, pharmaceutical/nutraceutical, and consumer/industrial goods sectors who purchase the equipment directly with installation, commissioning, and aftermarket service and support.

Product overview

Pacteon Group is a unified organization that serves as a single-source partner for fully integrated end-of-line packaging automation solutions. The company operates through four specialized subsidiary brands: Schneider Packaging Equipment (case packers and robotic palletizers for food, beverage, CPG, and industrial), ESS Technologies (precision cartoners, case packers, and palletizers for pharmaceutical and health industries), Phoenix Stretch Wrappers (pallet stretch wrapping equipment), and Descon Conveyor Systems (conveyors, accumulation, specialty equipment, and line integration for food and beverage). These brands are engineered to work seamlessly as one integrated system, supported by Pacteon's integration services, software solutions (OptiStak, ProAdjust), and comprehensive service and support. The portfolio spans cartoners (VC30, SC60, SC150), case packers (horizontal, gable top, bottom loading Everest, robotic CEL5/V30), palletizers (modular Robox, Mini Cell, centralized, high-speed layer), stretch wrappers (rotary ring PRRA, rotary arm PRTA, conveyorized turntable PCTA), conveyors (neck ring air, DeckJet, loose container, pack/case/multi-lane), and specialty equipment (servos, laners, depalletizers, tray loaders, sterilization tunnels).
