What Matrix Packaging Machinery, Inc. does

Matrix Packaging Machinery, Inc. (legal entity Matrix Packaging Machinery, LLC) is a US-based manufacturer of flexible packaging machinery headquartered in Grafton, Wisconsin, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ProMach within ProMach's Flexibles & Trays business line. Founded circa 1980, Matrix designs and builds vertical form fill seal (VFFS) baggers — intermittent motion (MVI-280E, MVI-280 Mercury, MVI-330/460 Elete, MVI-330S/460S Elete Premier sanitary) and continuous motion (MVC-250, MVC-300 Morpheus, MVC-300L liquid) machines — plus specialty systems (Bag-in-Bag, MVX-200 DOY) and accessories (AutoPro automatic changeover, Pro-Surveil video, EC-E checkweigher, film lift). The company also serves as master North American distributor for INVpack stickpack and sachet systems and Pacraft (formerly Toyo Jidoki) pre-made pouch filler/sealers.

Matrix sells primarily to enterprise customers in food and beverage (bakery, snack, candy, dairy, frozen, IQF), pharmaceutical and nutraceutical, pet food, and non-food/industrial (chemicals, sanitizers, cold chain) segments. Revenue is generated through capital-equipment sales of machines (quote-based, configuration-dependent pricing) and a recurring aftermarket Parts & Service business (preventive maintenance plans, genuine parts, performance upgrades, retrofits, PMMI Certified Trainer programs). Go-to-market combines a direct enterprise field sales force of nine regional sales directors/managers covering the US, Canada, and Mexico, with channel partners (MD Packaging in Canada) and event-driven demand generation at Pack Expo.

The company operates from a 135,000+ sq ft manufacturing, assembly, R&D, and spare parts facility near Milwaukee, WI, and benefits from being embedded in ProMach's broader Flexibles & Trays ecosystem (Bartelt, CL&D Graphics, HMC Products, FLtècnics, Umbra Packaging, Lako), which provides cross-brand solution selling and a single point of contact for customers seeking to package products in bags, pouches, sachets, stickpacks, and trays.
