Lawrence Ward Sr. founded Pacproinc® in 1989 to market his invention, the Arc’Tronic Hole Perforator.
In 1992, with six employees, the company began designing and manufacturing automatic, high-speed interleavers and stackers for the meat industry. We obtained the patent for interleaving via the “Inline Foldover” method in 1995 and began selling internationally.
Today, Pacproinc® can claim active users in more than 16 countries.
The original product line up of hole perforators, interleavers, and stackers has expanded to include custom and standard conveyors, value-added services, and a full range of interleaving materials.
Over the years, we have distinguished ourselves as a trusted partner and leader among the key players in the food and packaging industries. Our ability to provide well-designed solutions tailored to customer needs – and support our equipment with 24/7 service and a full range of proven solutions truly sets us apart. We continually find innovative ways to reduce labor costs, increase production, and add value to our end users’ products.
