As wineries navigate changing consumer preferences, evolving packaging requirements, and growing pressure to improve operational efficiency, dependable supplier partnerships are becoming increasingly important. Clevertech North America, a Florida-based subsidiary of Italy’s Clevertech Group, is reinforcing its commitment to the wine industry as the Presenting Sponsor of the 2026 North Coast Wine Industry Expo (WIN Expo), December 3 at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa.
Clevertech’s support of one of the industry’s largest regional trade shows and conferences reflects a broader commitment to helping wine producers adapt, innovate, and remain competitive through technology, expertise, and long-term service partnerships.
Supporting Wine Producers at Every Stage
Since 1987, Clevertech has delivered integrated packaging automation solutions designed to improve efficiency, reduce labor demands and accommodate changing production needs. Its equipment portfolio includes depalletizers, case packers, carton erectors, partition inserters, palletizers and stretch wrappers, engineered to integrate into existing operations or support complete packaging lines.
But Clevertech’s approach extends beyond supplying equipment. From initial consultation and system design through installation, commissioning and ongoing service, the company emphasizes a partnership that supports customers throughout the equipment lifecycle.
Every project begins with an assessment of production goals, operational constraints and future requirements. Equipment is then manufactured, assembled and tested before delivery through a rigorous Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) process designed to minimize installation and startup disruptions.
Long-Term Service That Protects Winery Operations
For wineries operating within demanding production schedules, equipment reliability and responsive technical support are essential.
Clevertech’s North American service network includes more than 30 technicians providing 24-hour support, along with preventive maintenance planning, remote diagnostics, operator training and spare parts coordination.
This structured approach helps wineries minimize unplanned downtime, maintain consistent production and adapt existing automation as packaging formats and operational requirements evolve.
“Installation is a milestone, but it’s not the finish line,” says John Feeley, Service and After Sales Manager for Clevertech North America. “The performance of any automated system depends on how it’s supported, maintained and adapted over time.”
Investing in the Industry’s Future
Clevertech’s role as Presenting Sponsor of WIN Expo 2026 extends that commitment beyond its customer relationships to the broader wine industry.
By supporting an event that connects winery and vineyard professionals with emerging technologies, industry expertise, and practical business solutions, Clevertech is helping foster the collaboration and innovation necessary to navigate today’s changing wine economy.
For Clevertech, supporting the industry’s future means more than delivering advanced machinery. It means providing the expertise, reliability, and long-term partnerships that help wine producers operate efficiently today while preparing for the opportunities ahead.
