Schneider Packaging Equipment acquires S&R Machinery

Schneider Packaging Equipment Co., Inc., specializing in end-of-line solutions for case packing and palletizing needs, has acquired the assets of S&R Machinery, supplier of both random and uniform case sealers, based in Olyphant, PA.

“The addition of S&R’s random and uniform case sealing machinery expands our standard equipment portfolio and also complements our existing line of case packers and palletizers,” says Schneider president, Richard Schneider. “S&R’s random case sealing technology enables us to provide a broader set of packaging equipment solutions to a wider market.”

Combining forces to create one team, the Olyphant facility will continue operations as before except S&R Machinery clients will enjoy the benefits of having access to Schneider’s comprehensive customer service and support team.
