When you’re in the business as long as we have, you come to recognize the genuine expertise when you see it. And Jim Bonatakis has been our go-to for over 25 years for all things related to packaging machinery. We’ve had our fair share of challenges, and every single time, Jim was right there with the solutions we needed.
So, when Jim talked to us about Rexfab and the cutting-edge technology they brought to the table through their own technology, as well as partners integrations, we were all ears. And boy, are we glad we listened!
Enter the new Hartmann Bagel System and the SR Pack case packer – game changers for our operations! Before, we had to rely on manual labor, with 2 extra employees working on bagging each shift. Now, we’ve been able to streamline that process, thanks to these fantastic machines. But that’s not all.
The Hartmann single lane slicer it’s a marvel. We’ve slashed our blade change times, making our operations more efficient than ever. And let’s talk about the case packer. Previously, we needed 6 or 7 dedicated employees hand-packing. But now, just 2 people manage the entire operation, ensuring our products are packed efficiently without compromising on quality.
To sum it up, partnering with Rexfab has been one of our best decisions. It’s not just about the advanced machinery; it’s about the trust, reliability, and genuine care they’ve shown towards our growth and efficiency.

Expert Mix Eric Brochu
Éric décrit les méthodes industrielles comme un lien bidirectionnel entre l’ingénierie et la fabrication. Des dessins complets, des côtes et des tolérances claires, des matériaux appropriés et des choix de machines cohérents contribuent à prévenir les interruptions et à réduire l’improvisation. Les estimations des temps de fabrication facilitent la planification, tandis que les commentaires du plancher de production aident l’ingénierie à simplifier les pièces et à réduire les étapes de fabrication ou les coûts des matériaux. La faisabilité des demandes sur mesure est évaluée avant leur mise en production. Ensemble, ces pratiques contribuent à maintenir une qualité constante, à rendre la fabrication plus efficace et à offrir des produits plus compétitifs aux clients.
