Earlier this year, BW Packaging announced the expansion of its Hayssen X850 flow wrapper into European markets.

July 21, 2026

BW Packaging, Barry-Wehmiller’s global packaging machinery business, today announced a strategic partnership with Crown Packaging Corp., a leading provider of packaging supplies, equipment and services, to deliver innovative packaging automation capabilities and integrated packaging solutions to customers across North America. 

The partnership brings together BW Packaging’s industry-leading portfolio of packaging machinery, automation technologies and integrated systems with Crown Packaging Corp.’s expertise and distribution network of over 50 branches and affiliates across the United States, Mexico and Canada. 

Together, the companies will provide manufacturers, retailers, logistics operations and ecommerce businesses with comprehensive solutions designed to improve operational efficiency, reduce downtime, enhance sustainability initiatives, and streamline end-of-line packaging processes. 

By aligning strengths across equipment, services and industry knowledge, the companies say they are positioned to better address the evolving needs of today’s packaging operations.

“Our collaboration with Crown Packaging represents a shared commitment to helping customers solve complex packaging challenges through innovative technology and exceptional service,” said Matt Venezia, Chief Commercial Officer, BW Packaging. “Combining Crown’s customer relationships, service footprint and broad selection of packaging supplies with BW Packaging’s integrated machinery solutions creates new opportunities to support our customers with scalable, future-ready packaging systems.” 

BW Packaging offers a broad range of packaging equipment and technologies, including filling, labeling, bagging, palletizing, end of-line systems, and complete packaging line integration. The partnership is designed to expand the range of available packaging solutions while enhancing packaging consultation and integrated system implementation through the combined expertise of both organizations. 

“The partnership brings together the complementary strengths of BW Packaging and Crown Packaging Corp. to deliver more integrated solutions for customers,” said Jim Krapes, Senior Director, Global Key Accounts & Market Development, BW Packaging. “By combining our automation expertise with Crown’s distribution network and expertise in the supply of packaging material, we can provide complete technical solutions that help customers improve efficiency and performance.” 

“Customers today are looking for more than individual products or standalone machines; they want integrated solutions and trusted partners who can help optimize their entire packaging operation,” said Rich Benkelman, Executive Vice President, Crown Packaging Corp. “By partnering with BW Packaging, we’re strengthening our ability to deliver world-class packaging machinery, technical expertise and long-term value to our customers.”
