Premier Tech Industrial Equipment Group (PT IEG) was born in 1989 to satisfy a need for automation at Tourbières Premier (now Premier Horticulture, PT IEG’s sister company). PT IEG started out as the company’s engineering department, manufacturing equipment to support internal technological needs. But PT IEG quickly decided to sell its equipment outside the company and became an international leader in the design, manufacturing, and marketing of state-of-the-art industrial equipment. Mostly involved in the organic industry at the beginning of the 1990s, PT IEG quickly expanded its activities towards non-organic markets through both its extensive IR&D programs and the acquisition of Chronos Richardson Systems. By adding this 125-year-old German company to its team, PT IEG paved the way for major growth in the food, chemical, and mineral industries while complementing its product lines with new packaging technologies. With its wide range of products and innovative solutions tailored to customers’ individual needs, PT IEG is now an international leader in the field of Industrial Flexible Packaging (IFP) equipment.
