nVenia Expands Southeastern Presence with IPS Packaging & Automation Distribution Partnership
Packaging automation specialist nVenia has announced a strategic distribution partnership with IPS Packaging & Automation, naming the company as an official distributor for the Southeastern United States. The collaboration covers key markets including Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, strengthening nVenia’s regional support network and expanding access to its advanced packaging automation technologies.
The partnership will primarily focus on expanding the distribution of nVenia’s FISCHBEIN Brand line of bag closing equipment, which includes industrial-grade bag sewing and sealing systems widely used across industries such as agriculture, food processing, chemicals, and building materials. By bringing IPS Packaging & Automation into its official distributor network for these products, nVenia aims to provide faster service, localized expertise, and stronger technical support to customers across the Southeast.
Building on a Long-Standing Relationship
The newly expanded agreement builds on a relationship that spans more than two decades. IPS Packaging & Automation has long served as a trusted distribution partner for nVenia’s ARPAC Brand, a well-known provider of shrink wrapping and packaging machinery. The extension of the partnership to include Fischbein bag closing systems marks a natural progression of the collaboration between the two companies.
For IPS Packaging & Automation, the addition of Fischbein products significantly strengthens its automation portfolio and allows the company to deliver a broader range of solutions to its customers. With demand for integrated packaging systems continuing to grow across multiple industries, the expanded product offering enables IPS to provide more comprehensive solutions—from packaging supplies and equipment to advanced automation systems.
Travis Evans, Equipment Division Manager at IPS Packaging & Automation, emphasized the strong foundation the companies have built together over the years.
“IPS Packaging & Automation has been a trusted partner of nVenia and the ARPAC Brand for more than 20 years,” Evans said. “We’re excited to expand that partnership with the FISCHBEIN Brand. Our automation specialists, certified service technicians, and dedicated parts team are well positioned to support these solutions and deliver the high level of service our customers expect.”
Evans added that the company’s technical expertise and customer-focused service approach make it an ideal distributor for Fischbein bag sewing and sealing technologies.
Strengthening Regional Support
The partnership is also designed to strengthen nVenia’s presence in a region where demand for packaging automation continues to rise. The Southeastern United States is home to numerous manufacturing, agriculture, and logistics operations that rely heavily on efficient packaging processes.
By working with IPS Packaging & Automation, nVenia can deliver localized sales, installation, service, and aftermarket support to customers throughout the region. This localized approach ensures businesses can access not only equipment but also the technical knowledge needed to integrate and maintain these systems effectively.
According to Paul Ferrandino, Senior Vice President of Sales at nVenia, the partnership brings together two organizations with complementary strengths.
“IPS brings a powerful combination of technical expertise, regional reach, and a strong commitment to customer service,” Ferrandino said. “Their track record in automation and packaging solutions makes them an outstanding partner to help grow the Fischbein brand across the Southeast.”
Ferrandino noted that partnerships with experienced distributors are essential for maintaining strong customer relationships and delivering reliable service in rapidly evolving markets.
Enhancing Customer Access to Fischbein Technology
Through the collaboration, customers across Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida will gain improved access to Fischbein bag closing systems. These systems are widely recognized for their durability, reliability, and efficiency in sealing and sewing filled bags across a variety of industrial applications.
The technology is commonly used in sectors where secure bag closure is essential to maintaining product quality and preventing spillage or contamination during transportation and storage. Industries such as agriculture, pet food manufacturing, chemical processing, and construction materials rely heavily on these types of packaging solutions.
With IPS Packaging & Automation acting as the regional distributor, customers will also benefit from quicker response times for equipment servicing, replacement parts, and technical assistance.
Jeff Carey, Director of Distribution Sales at nVenia, highlighted how the partnership enhances the company’s ability to support customers locally.
“This collaboration strengthens our ability to provide localized sales, service, and aftermarket support in an important region,” Carey said. “IPS has the infrastructure, the technical resources, and the experienced team needed to help customers maximize the performance and value of Fischbein solutions.”
