Premier Tech expands its offering to meet the evolving needs of manufacturers
RIVIÈRE-DU-LOUP, Quebec, October 18, 2026 — Premier Tech Systems and Automation is expanding its offering for consumer packaged goods manufacturers with the introduction of the CHRONOS OMK Series pre-made pouch filling solution, the next evolution of its Necton™ connected technology and an expanded Client Services offering.
These additions help manufacturers address production demands, labor challenges and the need to strengthen operational performance over time.
“Our clients’ reality is changing, and so are their expectations of an automation partner. Great equipment remains fundamental, but the value we bring can no longer stop at installation. We are expanding how we support our clients through equipment, technologies and expertise that help them continuously improve their operations.”
— Simon Roy, President and Chief Operating Officer of Premier Tech Systems and Automation
A new pouch filling solution for CPG manufacturers
Premier Tech is expanding its presence in the consumer packaged goods market with the CHRONOS OMK Series, a rotary pre-made pouch filling machine designed to open, fill and seal retail-ready pouches.
The solution serves food, pet food and pharmaceutical applications. It supports a wide range of formats and can be integrated into complete Premier Tech packaging lines for a consistent operating experience. The CHRONOS OMK Series is designed for manufacturers managing multiple SKUs, seasonal demand shifts and changing production requirements. Its quick, tool-less changeovers simplify day-to-day operations. Premier Tech also provides installation, technical service and parts support.
The new solution broadens Premier Tech’s packaging portfolio and its ability to serve manufacturers across more applications and packaging formats.
Necton™ evolves from data visibility to operational intelligence
Premier Tech is also unveiling the next evolution of Necton™, its connected equipment technology. Necton™ securely connects Premier Tech equipment and transforms real-time data into actionable insights. It helps manufacturers monitor performance trends, identify improvement opportunities and makes more informed decisions to optimize operational efficiency.
Manufacturers have access to more production data than ever, but limited time and resources can make it difficult to determine the right next action. The enhanced Necton™ helps address that challenge. By continuously analyzing equipment performance, it proactively identifies opportunities and delivers recommendations that can help teams prioritize actions to improve production, reduce downtime and optimize equipment performance over time.
Extending Client Services beyond traditional support
Premier Tech is introducing an expanded Client Services offering to strengthen the support manufacturers receive throughout the lifecycle of their equipment.
Building on Premier Tech’s existing Client Services capabilities, this offering reflects a more proactive, connected, and data-driven approach to customer support. During the critical first year of operation, customers can choose to work with a dedicated expert who helps ensure operational success by staying closely connected with their team, providing regular touchpoints, and coordinating the appropriate Premier Tech expertise. This support may include training, on-site service visits, remote troubleshooting, and performance optimization based on equipment and production data.
This approach helps customers build confidence in their equipment, address operational priorities, and establish a strong foundation for long-term performance.
“Our role and expertise continue well after the equipment is installed. We want to partner closely with our customers throughout their first year of operation and over the long term, helping them adopt and integrate the equipment with confidence, optimize performance, and respond proactively to operational needs.”
— Daniel Desjardins, Managing Director, Client Solutions, at Premier Tech Systems and Automation
By expanding its support offering, Premier Tech helps manufacturers strengthen operational continuity, maximize equipment performance, and realize greater long-term value from their investment.
Together, the CHRONOS OMK Series, enhanced Necton™ technology, and expanded Client Services offering reinforce Premier Tech’s ability to support manufacturers with equipment, connected technologies, and expertise as their operations evolve.
