For more than 70 years, ITW Hartness has helped manufacturers keep production lines moving. From our headquarters in Greenville, South Carolina, we design and build packaging equipment that supports leading food, beverage, personal care, and household brands. Our approach is simple. We listen closely to our customers, understand their challenges, and engineer solutions that make a measurable difference on the production line. Guided by the ITW Business Model and customer‑backed innovation, we focus on performance, reliability, and long‑term partnership. Engineering and operational excellence are at the center of everything we do. By manufacturing most components in house, we maintain the quality and control our customers depend on. When support is needed, our service and parts teams respond quickly to keep operations running. Many customers begin with a critical question: will this run on my line? Our Customer Test Center helps answer that question by evaluating PET, HDPE, glass, cartons, trays, and flexible packages under real production conditions. These evaluations often feature our vertical DYNAC accumulation systems, designed for gentle, zero‑pressure handling that helps balance the line and reduce microstops. We also offer floor‑level mass flow accumulation for applications requiring a different buffering approach. Beyond accumulation, ITW Hartness delivers a broad range of case packing solutions, including servo‑controlled top‑load packers and integrated end‑of‑line equipment designed for efficient, reliable performance. At ITW Hartness, we help customers build packaging lines that run efficiently and reliably, backed by equipment that is easy to operate and simple to maintain. ITW Hartness: Proven innovation, powerful commitment.
