Integrated packaging automation systems for food, medical, and industrial production
Harpak-ULMA is the North American subsidiary of a $1B European packaging automation manufacturer. The company operates a portfolio of control-system and machinery integrations—leveraging Rockwell Automation, Allen-Bradley, Siemens HMI/SCADA, and custom PLC programming—to build end-to-end production lines. Current hiring (support-heavy, mid-level) and active projects (HMI/control-system design, disaster recovery) suggest the org is scaling post-sales engineering and operational resilience rather than expanding sales capacity.
Harpak-ULMA designs, integrates, and services fully automated packaging lines for food processing, medical device, bakery, and industrial manufacturers. The product range spans tray sealing, thermoforming, flow wrapping, multihead weighing, vision inspection, cartoning, case packing, and palletizing—typically deployed as complete integrated systems that reduce total cost of ownership and address workforce challenges. The company maintains a 24/7 support model with same-day parts availability. Since 2018, Harpak-ULMA has formalized integration with Rockwell Automation's controls platform, positioning control-system efficiency and equipment uptime as competitive differentiators. Operations and sales are concentrated in the United States and Canada.
Harpak-ULMA uses Rockwell Automation, Allen-Bradley, and Siemens HMI/SCADA platforms. PLC programming is conducted in C# and structured text, with network protocols including Ethernet/IP, Modbus, and Profibus. System design and troubleshooting also employ AutoCAD Electrical and EPLAN tools.
Harpak-ULMA is headquartered in Taunton, Massachusetts. It operates as the North American arm of ULMA, a Spanish packaging automation manufacturer founded in 1994.
