Ambrose Packaging is a family-owned team with a tradition of success in the packaging industry. We represent a premier line of manufacturers from packaging, bagging, and dust collection equipment to material handling solutions, packaging supplies, parts, hand tools, and more. With over 100 years of combined experience, we have learned what is valuable to our customers. We excel at discovering solutions with one objective in mind: to deliver top performance to the operation in the most cost-effective way.
We continue as a dedicated resource to our customers even after equipment is installed. We are here to help shorten the learning curve and make certain materials and resources are being optimized. We offer equipment training for all floor technicians and maintenance personnel.
One of our core values here is that we honor our commitments and keep our promises. We are dedicated to reducing costly downtime – but unfortunately, wear and tear are inevitable. In the case of a line-down situation, our certified technicians are available 24/7 and quick to respond over the phone, on-site, or in-house.

Employees become eligible for our 401K Retirement Plan the first of any quarter following 90 days of employment.
