More than 60 Years of Innovation - from KartridgPak to IWKA - PT we remain a step ahead. Conceived by engineers in 1944 and given independent life as a subsidiary of Oscar Mayer & Company in 1946.
Exceptional design and solid construction are shared attributes of every machine that carries one of our four brand labels - KartridgPak, Aerofill, Autoprod and Holmatic. Also consistent is our dedication to internally manufacturing nearly every critical part of each machine, thereby maintaining quality control at every important step of the manufacturing process.
For more than 50 years, the Aerofill brand name has stood for innovation and market leadership in the production of precisely engineered and durably constructed aerosol and rotary liquid fill systems, rotary base aerosol crimpers, gasser, shakers, propellant and liquid fillers.
