About Us
Riggs Autopack Ltd is an award winning, British manufacturer of top quality volumetric depositors and filling machines, transfer pumps and bespoke conveyor filling lines. We are a UK market leader with an excellent reputation and supply our equipment primarily to the food production industry.
The company dates back to the early 1930's when the founding business Autopack Ltd was based in the West Midlands. Upon acquisition by the Fort Vale Group in 1991, the company re-located to Nelson, Lancashire.
The main stay of the company is our Model 1000, 1001 and 1002 range of semi or fully automatic, single or multi-head depositors and filling machines, transfer pumps and conveyor filling lines. We take great pride in supplying our equipment to a huge variety of food manufacturers throughout the UK and overseas.
Clients usually range from start-up companies and cottage industries through to multi-national food groups such as Bakkavor, Kerry, Greencore and Samworth Brothers. We also supply our depositing equipment to operate in conjunction with third party machinery such as in-line tray sealing, rotary pot sealing, thermo form and VFFS applications for example.
Our piston pump depositors and filling machines are built in-house at our 50,000 sq ft Nelson factory; they are one of the most precise and hygienic on the market with exceptional performance, reliability and build quality. They effectively dispense hot or cold liquid, semi-liquid and suspended solid products on a damage free basis, and accurately fill most container types or size.
