Viking Masek Packaging Technologies, a manufacturer of automated packaging systems, announced this week that the company has merged with New Berlin-based

Both companies are coming together to form a single-source provider, delivering full-line, turnkey packaging solutions.

Bryan Brisch, vice president of business development and co-owner of Viking Masek Robotics & Automation.
The partnership enables both companies to leverage their respective strengths and offer a wider range of products and services for their customers. Viking Masek Robotics & Automation will continue to offer a wide range of custom robotic and automation solutions. Leadership teams from both companies will retain their positions following the investment, as well as the companies’ collective 125 employees.

"With Viking Masek's state-of-the-art packaging technology and our cutting-edge robotics and automation systems, we have an unbeatable combination that revolutionizes our offerings.
