Toronto-based Pack-Smart, one of the leaders in designing and manufacturing advanced automated technologies for digital print finishing and specialty packaging, has been celebrating its 25th anniversary.

Over the past two decades, Pack-Smart has completed more than 2,000 installations and launched 90 new products across 28 countries globally. These range from production system upgrades to end-to-end integrated assembly, personalization and packaging lines. Design, development and manufacturing are headquartered in Toronto, with strategic subsidiaries in New York and Singapore focused on customer support and business development.

Pack-Smart kicked off its 25th anniversary celebrations with employees earlier this year with a special luncheon, followed by a summer day-long cruise through the Toronto Island Lagoons aboard the Obsession III, a 78' motor yacht.

‘Fueled by a passion for innovation and collaboration, with a forward-thinking mindset, has been instrumental in solidifying Pack-Smart as a globally recognized, award-winning leader in the print and packaging landscape,’ said Andrew Penley, digital marketing manager at Pack-Smart. ‘The company continually combines technology and people to push boundaries in designing cutting-edge hardware and software technologies that address complex engineering, manufacturing, and distribution challenges while achieving the highest speeds, accuracy, and world-class OEE.’

‘Pack-Smart will continue innovating and shaping the future of technology—to engineer the impossible in advanced solutions, stay ahead of industry trends, and meet the challenges of tomorrow—alongside our visionary employees, partners and customers,’ concluded Dlugosh-Ostap.
