Techno Pak to handle sales and customer service for IMA Food North America’s range of fill-seal, form-fill-seal, and filling machinery spanning several brands and multiple food & beverage categories.

Leominster, Massachusetts – IMA Food North America – a food & beverage equipment leader whose solutions comprise long-established brands like Gasti, Hamba, Hassia, Fillshape, Corazza, Erca, AlphaMAC and Intecma – has named Quebec-based production solutions provider Techno Pak as its exclusive distributor for all of Canada, with the exception of British Columbia. The agreement provides IMA Food North America with a more robust sales, customer service and maintenance presence in a key region for dairy and other perishable food and beverage segments.

Founded in 1989, Techno Pak is a prominent Canadian provider of turnkey equipment solutions for filling, packaging, inspection and end-of-line functions. The company’s machine sales activities are supported by its experienced technical team and robust spare parts inventory, making Techno Pak capable of providing seamless sales, installation, and maintenance for Canada-based food and beverage manufacturers.

Notably, the collaboration involves each of the various equipment brands in IMA Food North America’s diverse portfolio, including Gasti, Hamba, Hassia, Fillshape, Corazza, Erca, AlphaMAC and Intecma.

IMA Food North America has built an industry-leading reputation for high-performance filling machinery. Most recently, the company introduced the Hamba Flexline, a fully servo-controlled fill-seal machine with industry-leading sterilization technology. Rated for high-speed operation and featuring a sturdy, hygienic stainless-steel construction, the system stands out for its clean, even filling and peroxide sterilization capabilities proven to extend product shelf-life. 

“Canada is a critical market with IMA Food North America, and collaborating with the talented team at Techno Pak substantially expands our reach and customer retention capabilities there,” said Patrick Carroll, President of IMA Food North America. “The partnership also paves the way for unique combination solutions that leverage the engineering fortes of both companies, bringing the potential for additional market differentiation.”
