Duravant, a global engineered equipment manufacturer serving the food processing, packaging and material handling sectors, announced today it has acquired Ohlson Packaging, a weighing, counting and filling machine manufacturer. The purchase expands Duravant’s product portfolio and strengthens the company’s integration and service capabilities.
Ohlson Packaging has designed and manufactured quality automatic and semi-automatic net weighing and counting machines since 1967. The product portfolio includes combination and linear weighers, vertical baggers, pouch machines, bucket elevators, rotary tables, supply hoppers and more. The company has built its business on a developed system that reduces its customers’ labor time, decreases square footage required for packaging and increases shelf life of perishable products through modified atmosphere packaging. The rugged durability of Ohlson products make it an easy choice for even custom and specialized applications.
