Beyond Specialty Equipment: Nercon Connects with Northeast Manufacturers at PACK EXPO East

PACK EXPO East 2026 has officially wrapped up, and what a great event it was! There was definitely a lot of “LOVE” for packaging equipment in the City of Brotherly Love. With Philadelphia serving as a central hub for the Northeast’s major manufacturing corridors, the show floor was buzzing with energy from food and beverage professionals looking for the next leap in production efficiency.

We truly value the opportunity to connect face-to-face. Because of the close proximity to so many major hubs, we were able to catch up with a long list of existing customers and meet new manufacturers of all sizes. It’s those in-depth conversations, especially with our local partners and Modular Conveyor Express (MCE) distributors, that drive our engineering team forward.

Innovation in Motion

Our booth was packed with action, featuring our Spiral Elevator, Draper, and Z-Incline conveyors. While it was great speaking with so many attendees about how this specialty equipment can solve specific footprint limitations or provide gentler product handling, the show was also a fantastic opportunity to remind our partners of the bigger picture.

While our specialty innovations often catch the eye, we also manufacture all the conveyors you see in-between. Whether you’re looking to replace aging equipment that isn’t meeting current productivity needs or you're designing a brand-new, streamlined production line, Nercon Conveyor Systems is a total conveyor partner, not just a specialty shop. By focusing on the entire line, not just the specialty points, we’re helping our customers reclaim floor space and reduce manual intervention across their entire facility.

Looking Ahead

The conversations we started in Philadelphia don’t end when the crates are packed. Our team is already busy following up on the unique production challenges you shared with us. If you missed us at the show, it’s not too late to see our systems in action. You can explore our full lineup of conveyor solutions online or reach out to our team to discuss your next project. We’re already looking forward to seeing you at our next stop!
