How Coloma Farms Saved a 60-Year Legacy of Potato Packing with One Game-Changing Solution

This is the story of Andy Dierks, a 4th-generation potato farmer who faced the prospect of ending his family’s potato packing operations after 60+ years due to the shortage of reliable labor in his rural area of Coloma, WI. With help from Symach by BW Packaging, he didn’t have to do that. Today, Coloma’s potato packing shed is thriving thanks to its Symach Mach-Series palletizer, which has eliminated the need for manual stacking of bags that often weigh between 50 and 100 pounds.
