Bay View Packing Expands Production Capacity with Major Facility Upgrades

New Equipment Enhances Efficiency While Preserving Hand-Packed Tradition

MILWAUKEE, March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bay View Packing, a heritage brand known for its premium pickled products, has completed a significant expansion of its production capacity with the installation of a new rotary chuck capper and upgraded label applicator. This strategic investment allows Bay View Packing to double its throughput, enabling the company to better serve its private label and contract manufacturing partners while remaining committed to the craftsmanship that defines its products.

The recent upgrades address prior bottlenecks in the production line, increasing efficiency without sacrificing the brand's signature hand-packed quality. With the new equipment in place, Bay View Packing can now cap up to 90 jars per minute, compared to its previous maximum of 40, and apply labels with greater accuracy and speed, ensuring a consistently high-quality finished product.

"While these upgrades enhance our efficiency, what sets Bay View Packing apart is that every product is still hand-packed with pride," said Drew Liebner, President of Bay View Packing. "We're blending tradition with innovation—leveraging advanced equipment to expand our capabilities while ensuring that every jar meets the same high standards that our customers expect."

Expanding Capacity for Pickled Favorites

Bay View Packing has built a reputation for producing high-quality, flavorful pickled products that have been enjoyed for generations. This latest expansion allows the company to produce more of its best-selling pickled eggs, pickled sausages, and pickled ham, which continue to be popular among consumers who appreciate bold, tangy flavors and high-quality ingredients.

• Pickled Eggs: A fan favorite, made using farm-fresh eggs and a time-honored pickling process for the perfect balance of tang and texture.
• Pickled Sausages: Featuring rich, flavorful cuts of premium sausage infused with Bay View's signature brine, offering a satisfying snack or protein-packed addition to any meal.
• Pickled Ham: A unique and flavorful specialty, prepared using high-quality cuts of ham, pickled to perfection for a bold and savory bite.

With increased output and reduced downtime, Bay View Packing is now positioned to support major retailers and brands seeking a high-quality, reliable manufacturing partner for private label and contract manufacturing.

Beyond production gains, this investment has also led to job creation and retention at the facility, reinforcing Bay View Packing's commitment to supporting the local workforce.

"We're excited about what this means for our partners," added Liebner. "With our increased capacity, we can offer even more flexibility, scalability, and consistency—whether for brands looking to expand their pickled product offerings or retailers wanting a trusted private label supplier."

Bay View Packing's facility upgrades were supported in part by the Meat and Poultry Supply Chain Resiliency Grant Program, which recognizes the company's role in strengthening domestic food production.
