MA Food North America’s established brands include Gasti, Hamba, Hassia, Fillshape, Corazza, Erca, AlphaMAC and Intecma, and has welcomed Techno Pak, based in Quebec, into its food and drink operations including for confectionery and snacks ranges for Canada, with the exception of British Columbia.
Founded in 1989, Techno Pak is a prominent Canadian provider of turnkey equipment solutions for filling, packaging, inspection and end-of-line functions. The company’s machine sales activities are supported by its experienced technical team and robust spare parts inventory, making Techno Pak capable of providing seamless sales, installation, and maintenance for Canada-based food and beverage manufacturers.

Most recently, the company introduced the Hamba Flexline, a fully servo-controlled fill-seal machine with industry-leading sterilisation technology. Rated for high-speed operation and featuring a sturdy, hygienic stainless-steel construction, the system stands out for its clean, even filling and peroxide sterilisation capabilities proven to extend product shelf-life.
