What is Kalamazoo Packaging Systems?
Established in 1980, Kalamazoo Packaging Systems has evolved from its roots as Kalamazoo Engineering—a pioneer in aftermarket snowmobile racing components—into a specialized manufacturer of industrial packaging solutions. The company occupies a critical niche in the logistics and manufacturing supply chain, providing high-reliability equipment such as the Model 939 Series and the 800 Series automatic wrappers. By focusing on the unique requirements of wrapping windows, sliding doors, and vinyl building materials, the firm has secured a defensible market position.

This growth phase is expected to drive operational leverage, allowing the firm to maintain its competitive edge against emerging automated packaging alternatives while expanding its footprint in the North American industrial market.
