ProMach acquired HMC Products, a provider of manufacturing, refurbishing and servicing of horizontal form fill seal (HFFS) machines. The addition of HMC is ProMach’s fourth acquisition this year, and further strengthens its global portfolio of flexible packaging solutions.
HMC fabricates and installs new HMC HFFS machines and rebuilt HMC/Bartelt HFFS machines for flexible packaging solutions across numerous industries, such as snack food, food, cosmetic, healthcare, pharmaceutical, and household goods.
“We are very pleased to welcome the HMC Products team to ProMach,” said ProMach President and CEO Mark Anderson. “Their established brand and reputation in the flexible packaging space underscores our ongoing ability to deliver best-in-class packaging solutions, while continuing to demonstrate growth within strategic market segments that bolster our business.”
Founded in 1979, HMC and its 45 employees will join ProMach’s Systems & Process business unit led by Group President Ryan McCart. This business unit is comprised of five business lines, which includes Flexible Packaging, Trays, Handling & Sterilization, Systems & Integration, and Process business lines. These business lines provide systems integration, processing, flexible and rigid packaging systems, product handling, retort and related packaging solutions across 21 distinct product brands. HMC leadership will report to Donald Deubel, senior vice president of Flexible Packaging.
“The addition of HMC to our Flexible Packaging business line is exciting because of what this means to our current and future flexible packaging customers. Their machining and fabricating expertise that provides quick builds and delivery of new or refurbished equipment, along with their dedicated service and aftermarket support is exemplary,” said Deubel.
