When researching packaging solutions, Uncle Crumbles was looking for more than just automation. It was about finding a trusted partner with the expertise to support long-term growth.
As demand for Uncle Crumbles' products continued to grow, the company faced a familiar challenge: how to increase production capacity while maintaining quality and efficiency. The solution was a strategic investment in automation and a partnership with Delkor.
Working together, Uncle Crumbles transformed its packaging operation from a largely hand-packed process to a nearly fully automated manufacturing facility. The new line incorporates Delkor's Trayfecta® S Series Former, Performance Series Case Packer, V Series Packer, and S Series Closer, creating a streamlined packaging system that supports higher throughput, greater consistency, and improved operational efficiency.
For Uncle Crumbles' leadership team, the impact of the transformation was immediate.
"People get a little speechless," said James Schutts, President & CEO of Uncle Crumbles. "Hand-crafted machinery from top to bottom—it's the best of the best out there. Delkor does a phenomenal job."
It's the best of the best out there. Delkor does a phenomenal job.
Beyond the equipment itself, the ease of operation has helped drive adoption across the production floor.
"The equipment is beautiful, easy to use, and very user-friendly," said Julio Mangual, Production Floor Manager. "The assistance is A1."
The project delivered on the business objectives Uncle Crumbles set from the beginning.
"I would definitely recommend Delkor," said Ken Wise, Director of Manufacturing. "They've been a great supplier, a great partner, and their machine delivered on all of our business expectations."
The partnership also left a lasting impression on the facility's maintenance team.
"If I had a facility and was looking to upgrade my equipment, Delkor would be the first company I'd go to—and probably the only one," said Bob Hughes, Maintenance Manager.
For Uncle Crumbles, the success of the project came down to more than just automation. It was about finding a trusted partner with the expertise to support long-term growth.
"I would recommend Delkor without question," said Schutts. "Everything they do speaks for itself. When it comes to manufacturing, you have to have the right expertise and partnership. They're someone you can lean on."
By combining world-class packaging technology with hands-on support, Delkor helped Uncle Crumbles take a major step forward in its manufacturing journey—creating a more efficient, scalable operation positioned for future growth.
