From first run to full ownership
Whether you need production now or a machine for the long term, we're the partner who meets you where you are and gets you where you're going.
14 lanes, one machine. See it for yourself.
This is the Sanko FR-5, the only multi-lane liquid packaging machine of its kind. Sauces, dressings, condiments, at speeds no other liquid packaging machine can match. Inclusions and all.
Expertise from water to pastes.
Because your sauce deserves better. Most co-packers treat liquid sachets like an afterthought. We've spent decades solving the problems that make liquid packaging hard.
Inclusions? Handled.
Chunks, seeds, particulates: the stuff that kills seals. Our proprietary sealing technology creates clean seals, eliminating waste, rework, and the headaches that come with them. We have a long history of running the products that other co-packers can't.
Zero headspace. No nitrogen required.
Our zero headspace filling eliminates oxygen and increases shelf life without the need for nitrogen pumps, cost, and complexity. Sanko machinery's proprietary technology extends shelf life and simplifies retail distribution.
Speed that's in a different category
Sanko FR-Series equipment can run up to 14 lanes of liquid simultaneously. The largest liquid programs in the world run on Sanko machinery. There's fast, and then there's this.
Sterilization without sabotage
Color, texture, and integrity are everything to liquid products. Our co-packing facilities utilize the Wavepath sterilization system leveraging sound waves to expose products to less heat for shorter times. Customers can enjoy your product as intended, without thermal impacts that traditional pasteurization can cause.

CASE STUDIES
The journey, in practice.
CO-PACKING
After national TV exposure drove explosive demand, a startup jam producer needed a co-packing partner that could handle the sticky challenges of their product, at scale, and fast. T.H.E.M. delivered precision quality on their investors' timelines, enabling them to rapidly expand into a meal kit distribution vertical.
Scaling Under a Spotlight.
CO-PACKING + EQUIPMENT
After two machines were vandalized during a facility move, an industry giant with national distribution needed a quick solution to keep distributors and customers stocked with their staple product. T.H.E.M. ran 2MM units/day to maintain continuity, enabling their team to make a thoughtful decision and purchase multiple Sanko machines to rebuild their line with additional capacity.
Partnership that flexes with your demand.
EQUIPMENT
A food manufacturing veteran replaced two legacy machines with a single Sanko unit, consolidating factory footprint and increasing productivity without adding headcount.
Modern efficiency: from two machines to one.
Co-packing Track
Not ready for equipment ... yet.
Validate before you invest. Scale without cap ex. We run production while you build the business case. When the time is right, we help you transition to ownership on your own terms.
Equipment Track
Production ownership starts here
You've validated demand. Now it's time to bring production in-house, control output, and own your capacity. The only piece missing? The right machine and the right partner.
