Choice Bagging Equipment

What Choice Bagging Equipment does

Choice Bagging Equipment is a US-based, privately held, second-generation family-owned manufacturer of industrial bag filling equipment, founded in 1978 and operated from a 30,000 square foot facility in Taylor, Texas. The company designs, builds, and services automated and manual packaging machines used to fill dry powders and bulk solids into valve bags, open mouth bags, FIBC bulk bags, boxes, drums, and pails. End markets include building materials (cement, concrete, mortar, fly ash), food and agriculture (sugar, flour, animal feed, grains), chemicals and minerals (bentonite, calcium carbonate, barite, TiO2, activated carbon), plastics (resin pellets), and landscaping products (soils, ice melt, wood pellets), with a commercial footprint spanning the United States, Canada, Mexico, and select Caribbean markets.

The product platform is anchored on four core equipment families — valve bag fillers (auger, impeller, and forced air variants), open mouth bag fillers (gravity, auger-fed, belt-fed, and vibratory), bulk bag/FIBC fillers, and box/drum/pail fillers — and is extended by robotic bag palletizers (including hot-swap capability), bag sealers and sewing systems, conveying equipment with inline metal detection/check weighing/inkjet printing, stretch wrappers, and form-fill-seal machines. Underlying technology includes PLC-based single-control packages managing weighing and filling functions, digital gross-weigher technology for fill-weight precision, a proprietary pinch tube cut-off valve for positive material shutoff, a fluidized pressure-flow air transport system without internal moving parts, inflatable bag-cuff dust-tight sealing, and quick-change auger assemblies. Equipment is built on flexible, scalable design platforms combining standardized parts with application-specific customization, supported by a US test lab that demonstrates performance on customer material prior to purchase.

The business generates revenue from six streams: new equipment sales, used equipment resale (with 180-day limited warranty), short- and long-term rentals, the Bagger ER rebuild/upgrade program (with 30-day warranty), replacement parts, and on-site field service and technical support. The go-to-market is sales-led, combining phone-based inside sales (512-352-3694) with sales associates positioned across North America, supplemented by channel partnerships with engineering firms and system integrators for production-line integration. A web-based Bagger Professor Tool narrows customer equipment selection prior to sales engagement. Roughly half of total staff is dedicated to field service, customer service, and on-call technical support, anchoring a service-first operating posture that reinforces installed-base retention across a multi-decade customer footprint.
