History

In the early 1960s, accurately measuring and filling refined sugar containers was a major challenge.
Not to be put off, we set to work developing a new measuring and packaging machine. After much experimentation to solve the problem of sugar sticking to the packaging machinery, we had our first working prototype. Our dedication to engineering machinery that was thought impossible by others spearheaded the evolution and diversification of our company.

With a growing consumer focus on quality and flavor, we developed proprietary technology to overcome the challenge of sealing food pouches. In 1968, the world’s first commercially available retort pouch food product hit dinner tables. This technology helped reduce storage space requirements, eliminate food spoilage and dramatically accelerated cooking speeds.

In response to consumer demand for more convenient ways to consume ice cream and drinks, we started work on a machine that could attach a spout to the pouch, fill it, then cap it. In 2000, we launched the first such machine to provide an assured seal around the spout and precisely fill the pouch. The resulting pouch was easy and convenient to use and has become a staple of convenience store shelves.
