INLINE FILLING SYSTEMS
Who We Are:
Inline Filling Systems is a USA manufacturer who has
been in business for 20 years with 18 of them dedicated to manufacturing
intelligent, elegantly designed and high quality liquid packaging machinery.
Not only is Inline Filling Systems recognized as the market leader in the
performance and design of liquid filling machines by end users but also by
other major USA equipment manufacturers who also buy our machinery for
integration into their own product lines.
All of our machinery is designed, fabricated and supported by us in our
Florida, USA facility. Our machinery
electrical systems are offered as UL listed for both the USA and Canada. We
also specialize ONLY in liquid filling lines and do not dilute our effort or
focus by selling unrelated third party packaging equipment. Although IFS
manufactures almost everything we sell, any third party equipment we do offer
to complete a liquid packaging line is exclusively made by our Business
Partners. These companies are also top
tier USA companies whose quality products are manufactured in the USA. We will never offer our customers any foreign
equipiment because the risk of poor support or parts availability is
unacceptably high. Please note also that we never sell used machinery as we
believe this practice would compromise our commitment to quality and guarantee
for fitness of purpose.
Our Philosophy about Machine Design:
We decided from the very start that we would build
the best quality machinery with the finest materials and most reliable
components we could find in the USA. We
chose this design philosophy without knowing if the marketplace could afford
this simple focus on quality alone. We were pleased to learn that despite our
uncompromising focus on quality, our machinery remains very competitively priced.
This “quality only” machine design philosophy is an extension of the customers
we wish to serve; customers that are like us…confident, goal-oriented people
who recognize the link between having the best quality tools for the job and
being economically successful. This is the American way.
A Word About Imported Equipment:
We get calls every day from people who want to know
if our machines are made in China or other low value – low quality producing
countries. There are many high visibility foreign companies and even some US
based equipment suppliers on the Internet that import cheaply made and poorly
designed equipment from these countries including countries that are unfriendly
to the United States. Much of this equipment
does not have UL electrical certification and their installation may be banned
by local municipal or state regulations. IFS does not sell any equipment made
by these firms. Moreover, we will not even knowingly use components that are
made in these countries.
To be fair, we have taken pains to physically
evaluate much of this imported equipment that has been represented as “same as
US-made quality”. In our opinion, the
quality is very poor, unreliable and will alienate the type of customers we
want to serve and retain for the long term. Savvy professionals know to avoid cheap
imported machinery when their livelyhood or careers depend on it. If you are
already a victim of non performing machinery whose origin you are concerned
about, let us know and we will help identify where it is made and offer more
realistic solutions to help your business.
Experience:
Like the real estate mantra “location, location,
location”, there is one major factor that determines if you made the right
machinery supplier decision or not : EXPERIENCE. The depth of our applications
experience comes from decades of hard work and honesty. We are also the only straight line filling
machine manufacturer in North America that has direct contract packaging experience
using our own machinery for profit! (Click here to see Food & Drug Magazine
article.) In doing this, we learned what our customers’ real needs are in order
to function efficiently and reliably everyday. We have built and tested
machinery for almost every liquid filling application in industry; our industry
experience adds immediate results and is highly valued by both new start up
companies as well as existing IFS
customers that have been using our equipment for decades. (Please click here to
see many examples of complete filling lines we have built over the years.)
Why Do Business with Inline Filling Systems? Our
slogan is “Intelligence in Design – Integrity in Business – Investment in
Service. Our two decades of stable operations and continuity of key technical
and manufacturing personnel has afforded us the ability to manage growth,
ensure quality, and protect our reputation as a trusted business partner in
packaging through refinement of our machinery designs. Our wealth of
applications expertise learned over many years is so clearly visible in our
design.
Integrity in business is a fleeting idea for
suppliers who can’t keep performance promises. Inline Filling Systems makes it
very plain that when you buy a machine manufactured by us, you are getting
something that is unconditionally “fit for the purpose” it was intended. (see
our Terms & Conditions as proof) Broken promises by machinery suppliers end
up in lawsuits and can be company or career killers. In 20 years of business
operations, not one person, vendor or customer has ever filed or threatened a
lawsuit against us. Like our simple design philosophy, our business ethics
philosophy is also simple: “Do what you say you will do.”
Our investment in service surpasses any of our
competitors. Where other suppliers have trimmed their services, IFS has expanded ours. Real evidence of this is the fact that our
most senior design engineer with all of the applications knowledge learned over
the past 17 years is our head of technical service and support. We deliberately
put our best technical resource in charge of supporting our growing, loyal
customer base. We have also established service locations in the Northeast,
Midwest and on the West Coast. The number of technicians we have available to
serve our installed base is greater than any of our competitors.
Do Your Due Diligence Before You Buy!
We think it is important for you to know the company
you are buying from. A low priced supplier might be the beginning of the
biggest mistake of your life or career. So, do your homework before you invest.
Here is our advice:
Visit the factories personally and compare their
organizations, facilities, resources and product quality. Witness factory
acceptance testing for other customers at the plant. (If there isn’t much going
on at that plant, that might tell you something.) Get references from customers
who have had the equipment running products highly similar to yours for more
than 5 years. Ask these customers what their customer service experience has
been. Check Dun and Bradstreet for credit problems and any history of liens and
lawsuits against that supplier. Ask the supplier if they are selling you
foreign or Chinese made equipment!
We are confident that if you are careful in your
selection process that Inline Filling Systems will be your most prudent
consideration.
