What Link Pack does

Link Pack is a privately held Canadian packaging automation company headquartered in Terrebonne, Quebec, that designs, fabricates, and distributes automated packaging machinery for North American manufacturers. Its portfolio spans primary packaging (labeling, filling, bagging, lidding and sealing), product inspection, and end-of-line equipment such as palletizing and case packing. The company combines in-house Quebec-fabricated machines—most notably the ELITA industrial pouch labeler and linear labeling machines with stainless-steel construction, CSA certification, UL 508A compliance, and a 20-year design life—with a curated distribution and integration portfolio of at least eight international OEMs including Gernep rotary labelers, Aicrov filling systems, PSG LEE/Leepack rotary pouch baggers, Concetti, Aranow, SN Maschinenbau, Radpak, and Bosch Rexroth conveyors.

The business operates a hybrid model: fabricated capital equipment is sold or quoted on a project basis (pricing not publicly disclosed, though single labeling machines are referenced in the $50K–$100K range with 16–24 week lead times versus 16–52 weeks for imported OEM builds), complemented by in-stock machines shipping in approximately one week, an in-house bilingual technical service team, line-planning and integration services, and recurring consumables (labels, spare parts). Components are specified from premium industrial suppliers (Allen-Bradley/Schneider PLC and HMI, Festo pneumatics, Keyence/Sick sensors, Herma 500 applicators, Oriental Motors), and hazardous-environment equipment carries ATEX, IECEx, and NFPA certifications.

Customers are primarily North American small and mid-sized manufacturers in food and beverage (the primary vertical), chemicals and industrial liquids, pharma and nutraceuticals, cannabis, paint and coatings, and personal care and cosmetics. One publicly identified enterprise customer is Chocolat Lamontagne, which deployed both the ELITA labeler and a PSG LEE RT-110 rotary pouch bagger, reaching 107% of target production rate. Distribution is via direct sales from Quebec, distribution partners including K-Flex across North America, and reselling of OEM equipment into Canadian markets, with the recent addition of a Federal RTRI grant funding entry into Mexico.
