Proven Stand-Alone Machinery Creates High-Performing Connected Plus Systems

Simple Contracts. Reliable Equipment. Trusted Companies.

What is a Connected Plus System?

Massman Companies is dedicated to automated packaging and driven by one mission: to deliver the Best Running Machines in the Factory.

This commitment extends to creating an exceptional customer experience and is the backbone of our Connected Plus Systems.

As many of our customers partner with multiple Massman Companies brands, we recognized they were often duplicating work – managing separate contracts, coordinating our brands as unique suppliers, and navigating different points of contact to build out FATs, delivery dates, and more. We knew there had to be an easier way.

Connected Plus Systems simplifies the process by bringing our businesses together so we can offer one solution for two or more pieces of machinery across our showcase lineup of brands. Customers can purchase multiple machines across our portfolio through a single, streamlined contract, working with one team, while receiving the same trusted lifetime support on every machine.

With Connected Plus Systems, customers gain the confidence of working with one partner backed by the expertise and reliability of the entire Massman Companies team.
