About Us

HEAT SEAL was founded in Cleveland, Ohio in 1950 as a stretch wrapping machinery and related products manufacturer. Heat Seal’s commitment to quality and innovation allowed the company to fast become a major machinery supplier for the supermarket industry. The continued success of Heat Seal in this market enabled the company to expand into other packaging methods.

In the late 1980’s, the Shrink Packaging Division of Heat Seal began production. Heat Seal applied the same winning formula of quality and innovation to the Shrink Packaging industry. Again, Heat Seal within a short period of time became a major producer of manual and semi-automatic L Sealers and Shrink Tunnels.

In 1994, Heat Seal purchased Ampak, a leading manufacturer of Skin Packaging machinery and related products. This acquisition allowed Heat Seal to bypass years of product development and immediately become a full line industrial packaging machinery source.

AMPAK was founded in Cleveland, Ohio in 1966 as the original manufacturer of Skin packaging machinery and related products. To this day, Ampak skin packaging machinery is the standard of quality in the industry.

As with Heat Seal, Ampak’s commitment to quality and innovation enabled the company to expand into other packaging methods also. Throughout the years, Ampak expanded their product line to include Blister packaging machinery and Vertical Baggers along with state of the art fully automatic Skin machines and Form/Fill/Seal machines.

AMPAK has moved back to Cleveland as of February 22, 2002.

HEAT SEAL and AMPAK are offering the industry a one stop manufacturing source for quality packaging machinery in a multitude of packaging methods.

Since the acquisition, both companies have expanded and improved their existing product lines. All product lines now offer many standard features, multiple sizes and a list of options second to none in the industry.

Over the last two years, Heat Seal and Ampak have teamed together again to enter a new packaging method. Ampak designed a Form/Fill/Seal machine capable of speeds up to 100 FPM or 80 PPM. Heat Seal designed the required Shrink Tunnel needed to complete the High Speed Packaging System. In Heat Seal’s case, a new product line of Heavy Duty L Bar Sealers and Shrink Tunnels has been designed to compliment the project.
