As wineries navigate a changing market, the need for efficient, space-saving, and cost-effective automation has never been greater. APS Packaging & Automation is responding to this shift with the introduction of the Jollypack Monoblock, a fully automated, compact end-of-line solution designed specifically for smaller wineries with limited production space and tighter equipment budgets.
A Smarter Approach to Winery Automation
The Jollypack Monoblock streamlines multiple functions into a single, fully automated system, including case erecting, case packing, partition inserting, and case sealing. Its small footprint allows wineries to automate production without the need for a large bottling line—providing a practical and affordable entry point into automation. Now available in a stainless steel design, the Jollypack ensures durability and longevity during production.
“With today’s market shifts, wineries aren’t operating the way they used to, and many can’t justify the investment in large-scale bottling lines,” says APS Packaging’s CEO Alberto Migliardi. “The Jollypack Monoblock is a perfect solution for wineries looking to increase efficiency without overspending. It’s designed to fit into smaller production spaces while offering the functionality of a much larger system.”
Scalable Growth for Expanding Wineries
A key advantage of the Jollypack Monoblock is its modular design, allowing wineries to start small and expand over time. Wineries can begin with a basic setup, such as a case erector and packer, and add features like the partition inserter and case sealer later on. APS also offers automatic depalletizers and palletizers with an integrated wrapper to fully automate the bottling process.
“This equipment grows with you,” explains Alberto. “Instead of making a massive upfront investment, wineries can start with an affordable component, automate key processes, and expand their capabilities as their business scales. It’s a smart way to increase efficiency and reduce labor costs without overcommitting financially.”
Comprehensive Technical Support & Local Service
For wineries hesitant about investing in automation due to concerns over setup and maintenance, APS Packaging provides 24/7 customer service and local technician support. Whether by phone or in-person, APS ensures that its customers receive the assistance they need to keep operations running smoothly.
Visit APS Packaging at Unified Symposium
APS Packaging will be showcasing the Jollypack Monoblock at the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium at Booth #2040. This is the perfect opportunity for wineries to see the system in action, ask questions, and explore how this compact automation solution can fit into their production line.
More Than Equipment: Investing in the Wine Industry Community
Beyond providing cutting-edge equipment solutions, APS Packaging is deeply invested in fostering community connections in the wine industry. Each year, APS hosts Bubble Bash during the Unified Symposium, offering an informal setting for industry professionals to network, relax, and celebrate. Additionally, APS organizes the Par Then Bar Open® Golf Tournament, creating another opportunity for wineries, suppliers, and service providers to connect outside of work in a fun and engaging way.
“At APS, we recognize that no matter what challenges the industry faces, there’s always value in community,” says Alberto. “We’re committed to providing solutions that wineries need now, while also creating spaces where industry professionals can come together.”
