Pack Pro Technologies

What Pack Pro Technologies does

Pack Pro Technologies is a full-service packaging equipment distributor specializing in Vertical Form Fill and Seal (VFFS) bagging machines and ancillary packaging equipment. Founded in 2007 by Jarrett Chaffee, a 20-year packaging industry veteran, the company serves food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical manufacturers across North America. The company operates as the sole North American supplier of the UK-built Line Equipment range of stainless steel VFFS bagging machines (LE 250 through LE 500), the exclusive North American distributor of Rimor spare parts, and a North American distributor for Markem-Image printers and datecoders. Pack Pro also represents METTLER TOLEDO (check weighers and metal detectors), All-Fill (augers and pumps), and Sandiacre parts.

The company's core technology centers on VFFS bagging machines featuring PLC-based controls, Omron motion controllers with servo drives (in the LE 360C Continuum), and modular configurations such as the LE360 PDQ multi-bag style system that allows tool-free transition between pillow, block bottom, gusseted, quad, and Doy style bags. The product portfolio spans core VFFS machines, a horizontal flow wrapper (LE 150 HFFS), and a broad ancillary equipment suite including multi-head weighers, metal detectors, check weighers, augers, pumps, conveyors, and custom-built platforms and gantries.

Pack Pro generates revenue through one-time equipment sales (VFFS machines and ancillary hardware), professional services (project engineering, installation, PLC upgrades, maintenance contracts, relocation management, personnel training), and replacement parts supply. Pricing is entirely quote-based with no public disclosure. The go-to-market approach relies on direct sales via phone ((717) 517-9065) and email, supported by 24-hour telephone support as standard and same-day despatch on 80% of replacement parts orders with shipping until 7:00 pm. The company is founder-owned and bootstrapped, with no disclosed institutional investors or external funding.
