BW Packaging announced a strategic partnership with Crown Packaging Corp. last week to expand access to packaging automation and integrated systems across North America.
The collaboration combines BW Packaging’s machinery and automation portfolio with Crown Packaging’s supplies, services, and distribution network. Crown operates more than 50 branches and affiliates across the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Together, the companies aim to help manufacturers improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and streamline end-of-line operations. The partnership will support customers in manufacturing, retail, logistics, and e-commerce.
“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,” said Matt Venezia, chief commercial officer at BW Packaging, in a statement.
