A new packaging company, Automated Produce Equipment (APE) recently opened. The company provides produce machinery and packaging solutions primarily to the onion, potato and carrot industries. The company sells complete lines, as well as individual machines from bin tipping to packaging and robotic palletizing at the end of the packing line. APE’s vendors’ machinery is designed to reduce labor, increase efficiency and keep customers competitive in the industry, according to Mike McKnight, company president.
McKnight has been providing produce packaging equipment for nearly 10 years. APE is based in Marietta, Georgia.
