Who We Are
60 years ago, Fox Packaging got its humble start with used equipment and borrowed space in the back of a South Texas carrot shed. Today, things look a little different for us. Not only have we become a leader in flexible packaging solutions, but we now service produce customers across North and South America. While our customer base and distribution has grown through the years, our family remains committed to delivering the same customer service and product quality that served us well in those early years. We take great pride in our ability to respond to the needs of our customers with innovative flexible packaging solutions that help elevate their fresh products to both trade and consumer audiences. As a fundamental partner of Fox Packaging, Fox Solutions sets the standard for equipment quality and safety with full stainless-steel construction and comprehensive pack line solutions that include weighers, baggers, case packers and more. We provide single source sales and support for a number of best-in-class equipment brands including Newtec, Haith and C-Pack. It is these customer relationships that motivate us to exceed expectations with consistently superior service, design, production, and prompt delivery.
