Covering Every Angle

There’s nothing wrong with doing it yourself. Many folks are up for the task regardless of size and scope.

Some people may see a machine that’s in need of repair and see opportunity. Others see a hassle and waste of time.

We’re particularly aligned with customers with the later – customers who do not have time to waste.

We acquire and refurbish a wide scope of packaging and processing machinery.

We then store it within our warehouse facilities spanning approximately 1.5 million square feet of storage.

When our customers inquire about a machine or complete line, we go beyond simply throwing a machine over the fence.

Turnkey services are a critical part of our value proposition.

Starting with quality, new or like new equipment is just the start. Every machine or complete packaging line is then setup, set-to-size, and specification for our customer’s product, carton, case, etc.

We go thru every component to ensure the machine not only runs well but runs our customers product as expected.

After several calls with our customer, we then bring on their team to validate all final project specifications before finalizing each order for a customer acceptance test – where the customer personally signs off on and learns about the equipment before it ships.

Why do this? After being in business for decades, we’ve learned to do our best to setup our customers for success.

Providing quality machinery quickly to our customers is only the beginning. Proving our customers technical, engineering, and financial resources to help them maximize profit is our ultimate focus.

Mitigating Risk with Borrowed Equipment

As consumers grow even more fickle with hyper-explosion in CPG product variety – many times Frain customers are left trying to do more with less.

This often means getting more produced from fewer resources including people and funding.

But it also means that companies must avoid putting all their eggs in one basket.

You can’t bank on one new package, flavor variation, or great idea. You need to launch several simultaneously and keep funding winners while having the ability to pull back on bad investments as quickly as possible.

Frain enables companies with flexible financing terms and speed to market services which make us uniquely positioned to help companies expand production or get a quick read on new ideas.

We have thousands of machines ready to be configured to any application and deployed quickly under rental or lease terms.

You don’t have to sell the “one” idea that you think has the best chance to win anymore. Let the market decide.

You can now focus on executing more flavors, packaging variation, etc. than your competition with rental and rapid deployed machinery.

With rental terms, you can return the equipment used to launch less profitable projects and place new funding towards new tests.

Recycling machinery barely used along with new machinery and components is something that we’ve excelled in for over 35 years.

Aside from being eco-friendly, the speed and flexibility in which we provide “borrowed” machinery are the ultimate insurance we provide our customer to help them minimize risk and maximize margins and revenue.

Fluid Situations

The start of NFL’s free agency period is just 7 days away.

And, the fluid circumstances of teams managing players is similar to those in the packaging and processing space managing their own machine inventory.

For example, when asked about QB Jay Cutler’s status for the upcoming season, GM, Ryan Pace, said that “Jay’s under contract, so its fluid. I would describe it as fluid.”

While the Bears may be ready to turn the page on the Cutler era in Chicago, there are likely many teams that would like to have Jay’s proven capability at QB.

CPG and packaging companies are faced with the same type of free agency on a daily basis.

Often times it takes the form of a new product or flux situation with the equipment purchase they are planning.

There’s shifting needs, less/more automation, production, and cash tied into ownership of machinery.

Companies may look to automate more, spend less by renting/leasing, or call an audible on their equipment order.

Equipment buyers may be ready to replace broken or outdated machinery or looking for equipment to fulfill a new project or increased demand.

Relying on the draft in April is also an option for NFL coaches and similarly, companies often look to new equipment.

However, successful NFL coaches also lean heavily on free agency in borrowing proven players from other teams.

Frain has proven, certified pre-owned equipment ready to extend your capabilities or launch new projects.
