Food and packaging machine services in Toronto and the GTA
Complete electrical, automation and commissioning for food processing and packaging lines. We install the machine, wire it, program it, bring it up to CSA, and keep it running.
Industrial automation and packaging equipment services
We support a wide range of packaging machinery and production lines. These are the industries we work in, and the work we do.
- Food & beverage processing
- Packaging & production lines
- Pharmaceutical
- Automotive
- Battery manufacturing
- General industrial facilities
Machine installation and assembly
Packaging machines set in place, mechanically assembled and connected, from the crate to the line.
CSA compliance and certification
Electrical standardization on imported or older machines so they meet Canadian standards and can be certified.
PLC programming and upgrades
New logic, program upgrades, troubleshooting and optimization to get more out of the line.
HMI programming and integration
Operator screens that make sense, tied into the rest of the automation.
Commissioning and start-up
We test the machine under real product, dial it in, and hand it over running.
Preventive and corrective maintenance
Scheduled service, plus the call when something breaks. We find the cause, not just the symptom.
Sensors and instrumentation
Photo eyes, proximity, temperature, load cells and flow, installed, wired and calibrated.
Conveyor systems
Installation, alignment and commissioning, so product moves down the line without jamming.
Stepper motors and drives
Steppers and drives installed, set up, tuned and troubleshot.
Pneumatics and solenoid valves
Valves installed, tested and repaired. Air circuits troubleshot, leaks traced and sealed.
Panel modifications and control wiring
Control panel changes, field wiring and new devices added to a machine already on the floor.
Line upgrades and modernization
Older production lines brought up to date, with the process tuned for output and less downtime.
Packaging equipment in motion
This is the kind of machinery we install, wire, program and commission.
Imported machine that will not pass inspection?
A lot of food and packaging machinery arrives from overseas built to a different electrical standard. It runs, but it does not meet CSA, and in Ontario that becomes your problem the day an inspector or your insurer takes a look.
We go through the machine, standardize the electrical, replace what has to be replaced, correct the control wiring and document all of it, so the field evaluation passes and the machine is certified for use here. Then it is on record and nobody can shut your line down over it.
- Full electrical review against Canadian standards
- Panel and control wiring brought up to spec
- Documented and ready for field certification
One crew for the whole machine.
Most jobs on a packaging line need three trades: an electrician for the power, a millwright for the mechanical assembly, and a controls person for the PLC and HMI. Chasing three of them is how a two day install turns into two weeks.
We do all three. Mechanical assembly, wiring, programming, pneumatics and commissioning, from one contractor who is accountable for the machine actually running.
- Mechanical assembly and alignment
- Power, control wiring and panels
- PLC, HMI and full commissioning
Power and controls for the rest of the plant.
Packaging equipment is one part of it. We also build control panels, wire machines, run 3-phase distribution and handle plant power, all under the same ESA licence.
Real machines, real lines.
Process and packaging equipment we have installed, wired, programmed and commissioned.

Questions plants ask
Can you make an imported machine CSA compliant?
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. We review the electrical against Canadian standards, replace and rewire whatever does not comply, correct the panel and controls, and document it so the field evaluation passes.
Do you do the mechanical assembly too, or only the electrical?
Both. We assemble and align the machine, then wire it, program it and commission it. One contractor for the whole install, so nothing falls between two trades.
Our line is down. How fast can you get here?
Call us. Downtime jobs go to the front of the queue, and we work nights and weekends when that is what it takes to get you running again.
Which PLC and HMI platforms do you work with?
Tell us what you run and we will confirm. We have worked across the common plant floor platforms, including the ones fitted to most imported packaging machines.
Do you handle conveyors, pneumatics and sensors, or just the panel?
All of it. Conveyor installation and alignment, solenoid valves, air leaks, stepper motors, photo eyes and instrumentation are everyday work for us.
Do you only work in food?
No. Packaging and production lines run much the same everywhere, so we also work in pharmaceutical, automotive, battery manufacturing and general industrial plants.
Tell us about your machine
What is the machine, what does it need to do, and what is it doing now? A photo of the nameplate or the control panel helps. We’ll get back to you fast.
In the middle of an electrical problem?
Call a licensed electrician now, or send a few details and we’ll get back to you fast, usually the same day.
