Accutek Packaging Equipment Inc.

What Accutek Packaging Equipment Inc. does

Accutek Packaging Equipment Companies, Inc. is a privately held US packaging machinery manufacturer founded in 1989 by Edward Chocholek and his sons, headquartered in Vista, California with additional manufacturing and showroom facilities in Irving, Texas (34,000 sq ft, opened 2015) and Fort Myers, Florida (Accutek Outlet, opened 2010). The company designs, builds, and services a broad portfolio of standalone packaging equipment — filling machines (timed flow volumetric, piston, overflow, vacuum, pump, auger, net weight, tablet counter), capping machines (screw spindle, chuck, ROPP, snap), labeling machines (pressure sensitive and hot glue), sleeving machines, shrink tunnels, sealers, conveyors, and turntables — built around programmable logic controllers (PLC), variable frequency drives, vision electronics, and pneumatics. Performance specs include fill accuracy up to ±0.5% on rotary volumetric fillers and throughput up to 450+ containers per minute on the RVF-52. The portfolio has been expanded through six acquisitions of legacy packaging brands (Labelette 2001, Kiss Packaging Systems 2001, Gold Cup Machinery 2001, Phase Fire 2002, Biner Ellison 2003, Labelmatic 2003), each of which continues to operate under its original brand identity alongside the parent Accutek name.

The business operates a direct sales model with a small named sales team providing consultation-based equipment selection, supported by showroom-based live demonstrations at all three US sites. Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) hardware sales of equipment priced via custom quotation (automatic labelers ~$15,000-$30,000, semi-automatic tabletop units ~half that, with full bottling lines materially higher), (2) aftermarket service, installation, parts, and annual service agreements on an installed base of 78,426+ cumulative machines, and (3) equipment financing to lower purchase friction. Target verticals span food and beverage, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical, cosmetics and personal care, and chemical/industrial customers ranging from startups needing single semi-automatic machines to large manufacturers requiring fully integrated bottling lines. Specialty product lines address bakery (piston and tray depositors) and e-cigarette packaging. Geographic reach is US-dominant with declared service to Caribbean and South America via the Fort Myers location. The company carries no disclosed external funding, remains under founding family ownership, and shows no signs of imminent ownership transition.
