Craft brewer quadruples 12-pack cartoning speeds

From a new brew house to a high-level depalletizer to a filling/seaming monoblock to automatic cartoning and sealing, Jack’s Abby Brewing Co. has got it going.

Founded in 2011, Jack’s Abby Brewing Co., Framingham, MA, is owned and operated by three brothers—Jack, Eric, and Sam Hendler. The award-winning craft brewery specializes exclusively in lagers and currently distributes its products primarily in the Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, and Upstate New York areas.

The business has been growing rapidly. To keep pace with product demand, the brewery has expanded its facilities and installed additional, more automated packaging equipment to augment or replace manual operations. Jack’s Abby Brewing packages beers in 12-oz and 16-oz cans, 12-oz and .5-L glass bottles, half-barrel kegs, and 1/6 barrel logs.
