Story
TW Garner Food Company has built a national culinary legacy with Texas Pete® and Green Mountain Gringo®. When they upgraded their bottles to a 28 mm opening and launched a new product, they needed a fully automated line that could handle variability and growth, despite not being able to send product samples for pre-testing.
Premier Tech delivered : from depalletizing to case packing and robotic palletizing, the new line boosted throughput, doubled capacity for their 12 oz flagship, and offered a streamlined, flexible operation for multiple products. Operators now enjoy simple pallet pattern changes, while the rugged design of the end-effectors ensures high reliability and minimal downtime, even with the demands of Texas Pete®’s fast pace.
The robotic tray packer achieved a two-year payback, and Premier Tech’s proactive customer care stood out—always responsive, proactive, and far superior to any other equipment providers the team has worked with. Today, TW Garner can meet rising demand for their sauces and salsas, confident in both the resiliency of Premier Tech’s equipment and the long-term partnership driving their continuous innovation.
