Packaging Automation Limited

Packaging Automation Limited was established as 'designers and manufacturers of special purpose machinery.

Manufacturer of packaging machinery.

Packaging Automation still retains the same principles that Arthur had in 1963 - a passion for invention, innovation and engineering.

Packaging Automation Ltd is a British manufacturer of packaging machinery with specialist knowledge of tray heat sealing technology and factory automation.  We are an innovator that listens, learns and collaborates with food manufacturers, to bring our customers the most sustainable solutions with the lowest possible environmental impact.

Packaging Automation Limited was established as ‘designers and manufacturers of special-purpose machinery’ on the 16th May 1963 by Arthur Penn. Nearly 60 years later, the business is still owned and managed by the Penn family and is still very much involved in the design and manufacture of machinery.

Arthur could not have foreseen in 1963, the changes that would take place over the coming 50 odd years.  Nor could he have predicted the huge demand for machines and in particular packaging machines that these changes would create.

PA has grown and developed with this demand but still retains the same principles that Arthur had in 1963 – a passion for invention, innovation, and engineering.
