Packaging and Automation in the Warehouses of the Future
Many consumer packaged goods companies (CPGs) warehouses operate from outdated buildings with unsuitable layouts, causing bottlenecks in their operations and promoting companies to look at ways to automate processes.
Warehouse automation is growing in the U.S., but very few CPGs have fully or mostly automated fulfillment processes. The majority of processes still are mostly manual or a mixture of manual and automated, with some still carried out entirely manually.
pwgo.to/8248
Warehouse automation offers a wide range of opportunities and benefits to CPGs and the third-party logistics companies (3PLs) many choose to carry out direct-to-consumer (D2C) fulfillment on their behalf.

SOMIC Packaging, Inc. CARTONING, MULTIPACKING & CASE PACKING
The past year has been a whirlwind of milestones for SOMIC Packaging, highlighted by two major achievements only days apart.
On September 25, more than 120 guests from around the world joined us to celebrate the grand opening of our new North American headquarters in suburban Minneapolis. Local dignitaries, customers, and partners from our corporate parent in Germany attended the event, which featured remarks, a ribbon-cutting, and tours of our expanded facility, followed by a festive evening in nearby Stillwater.
Visitors were also the first to see the new SOMIC 434 SuperFlex in operation. Officially introduced days later at PACK EXPO 2025 in Las Vegas, this next-generation case-packing platform represents a major step forward in end-of-line automation. Built on a compact, modular frame, the 434 SuperFlex is engineered for unmatched versatility and precision, addressing the realities of modern retail where change is constant.
From club stores to discounters to mass retailers, every channel wants something different. The SuperFlex helps manufacturers meet those demands with one integrated platform capable of producing nearly every major retail-ready packaging configuration, from upright stand-up pouches and wraparound cases to two-piece tray-and-cover formats and flat nested orientations.
Eighty percent of its architecture consists of pre-engineered assemblies, allowing faster customization and shorter build times for each customer’s application. That efficiency now extends to our own operations: all North American machine assembly takes place in Minnesota, with greater warehousing capacity and reduced delivery times to help customers respond faster to opportunity.

Vacuum Barrier designs, engineers, and fabricates liquid nitrogen dosing and piping systems for the Food, Beverage, Semiconductor, MBE, Pharmaceutical, Biotech, Beer, Wine, Coffee, and Cannabis industries. We provide custom and standard solutions for all liquid nitrogen handling applications, positioning ourselves as your one-stop source for a complete system.
Liquid Nitrogen Dosing
Vacuum Barrier’s NITRODOSE liquid nitrogen dosing systems pressurize thin-wall packages or displace oxygen to extend product shelf-life. A precise droplet of liquid nitrogen is dispensed into the package, vaporizes, and expands to fill the headspace, forcing nitrogen into the solution and pressurizing the bottle. To inert headspace, the vapor is allowed to expand before sealing, which pushes out oxygen and extends shelf-life.
Liquid Nitrogen Piping
Vacuum Barrier’s SEMIFLEX vacuum jacketed sealed and dynamic liquid nitrogen pipe delivers liquid nitrogen at bulk tank pressure in two-phase condition for on-demand supply. Combined with SEMIFLEX Triax piping, it eliminates two-phase flow to all use points.
Vacuum Barrier is ISO 9001:2015 certified and has a highly trained worldwide staff to assist you with all your liquid nitrogen handling applications.

WEIGHTPACK, Inc.
Precision that drives performance
In production lines focused on high-volume and low-waste output, precision isn’t optional — it’s a performance standard. Every container must be filled accurately, efficiently, and reliably.
Downtime, unscheduled shutdown, or operational delay affects not just production metrics, but customer satisfaction and brand integrity. That’s why successful production relies on solutions that prioritize performance. Net weight filling offers a direct path to that outcome: consistent product dosing, minimized waste, and full flow control regardless of product density or foaming.
Manufacturers operating in competitive, high-output environments depend on that level of control. Whether you’re filling sauces, lotions, detergents, or specialty chemicals, the goal is always the same: a smooth, efficient process with no compromises on quality.You can count on Weightpack to deliver an accurate net weight fill of your high value liquid or powder product to your loyal customers.
Weightpack machinery is purpose-built for liquid and powder products. It handles a wide range of viscosities and container formats, covering weights from 50 grams up to 20 kilograms. This range suits a variety of industries including household chemicals, personal care, pharmaceutical, dairy, food and non-carbonated beverages. Systems engineered around net weight technology ensure repeatable accuracy: whether dealing with low-viscosity liquids or thick pastes up to 300,000 cPs, or powder products with granules up to 10mm, filling remains precise and accurate.
At the end of the day, filling is not just a technical task — it’s a promise made to every customer who opens a bottle, jar, or can.
Accurate weight, clean presentation, correct closure — these are the visible markers of operational excellence behind the scenes. With high-performance filling and capping systems, that promise is fulfilled on every line. And with fewer rejects, less waste, and smoother runs, production teams spend more time moving forward — not troubleshooting. That’s what net weight filling is designed to do. That’s what fills your day.

Lantech has been redefining what’s possible in packaging automation for more than five decades. In 1972, Lantech made an impact on the world by inventing the stretch wrapper and changing the way companies package and protect their products for shipment. That breakthrough dramatically improved supply chains, and today billions of pallet loads are stretch wrapped every year.
From that first invention, Lantech has grown into a global leader in case and tray handling, stretch wrapping, and pallet conveying equipment. With manufacturing facilities in Louisville, Kentucky, USA, and Malden, Netherlands, and sales and technical support teams worldwide, we remain committed to building rugged, reliable, and easy-to-use machines. Our family-owned business is built on a foundation of innovation, customer support, and the mission to dramatically reduce shipping damage across the globe.
One of Lantech’s founding principles is the conviction that anything and everything can be improved. Over the years, we’ve been awarded more than 200 U.S. patents related to packaging machinery and their operation. We focus on real-world performance through observing customer facilities to learn how we can improve efficiency, reduce maintenance, and eliminate downtime.
While Lantech is a technology leader, with hundreds of patents as evidence, we understand that customers aren’t looking for innovation unless it truly adds value.
Innovation remains key to our mission: helping customers reduce the billions of dollars wasted in transport damage every year, everywhere in the world. Combined with our global distributor and service partner network, we deliver the equipment, expertise, and support that give manufacturers confidence in every shipment. No one does it better than Lantech.
