What Berran Industrial Group does

Berran Industrial Group, Inc. is a privately held custom machinery and packaging equipment manufacturer founded in 1982 and headquartered in Akron, Ohio. The company designs, engineers, and fabricates custom automation machinery for industrial customers across more than 15 verticals, including automotive, food processing, medical, foundry, glass, toy, window, wood/steel, garment hangers, filter, rubber, and golf. Its custom capabilities span laser marking enclosures, ultrasonic welding, vision inspection, leak testing, robotic integration, hot plate welding, and spin cutting, supported by an in-house machine shop with CNC and water jet equipment.

The firm also sells a standardized line of Eagle-branded packaging equipment — including stretch wrappers, carton sealers, strapping machines, case erectors, and flex conveyors — alongside packaging consumables (tape, strap, stretch wrap) stocked in a 40,000+ square-foot warehouse with more than 300 machine varieties kept in inventory. Berran generates revenue through one-time machinery sales, hardware sales of packaging equipment and consumables, engineering services, and standard warranty coverage, with all pricing handled on a quote basis.

Go-to-market is sales-led: a direct sales team handles custom machinery and standard equipment quotes from headquarters, supplemented by a domestic dealer network for packaging equipment. Customers are mid-market and enterprise industrial manufacturers primarily in Ohio and the broader Midwest US. The engineering team is reported to carry 100+ years of combined experience, and leadership consists of John Betinis as President, Jon Zuzik as Vice President, and Tina Hughes as Office Manager.
