Our Company History

Federal's history goes back to 1943 when Mr. David Fee recognized the need for a better machine for smaller, farm dairies to fill and cap glass bottles. The 6- and 9-valve level fillers were engineered and introduced at the 1948 Dairy Show in Atlantic City. Federal's simple, hygienic, dependable filler designs made Mr. Fee’s filling systems a success from the time they were introduced.

Development efforts revolved around glass bottle filling and capping until the 1962 introduction of HDPE containers. These lighter weight, easier to handle containers became very popular with consumers and Federal responded by developing innovative filling technologies and filling valves that were compatible with this style of container. Hygienic filler development has continued ever since with a mission to offer unprecedented product quality, speed, durability, efficiency, and cleanliness.

Federal added non-contact weight filling technology in 2004 through the acquisition of Engineered Products & Systems Inc. (EPSI). Weight filling technology introduced Federal to new markets including paint, agricultural chemicals, personal care, automotive lubricants and other high value products.

With these advancements came systems specifically created to maximize product protection and provide maximum shelf life. The design for these systems focused on simplicity, controlled and repeatable sanitation, durability, and preservation of product quality.

Federal joined ProMach in 2012 and has been an industry leader in level filling for more than 80 years. Today, Federal is recognized as a leading manufacturer of liquid filling systems across both gravity level and net weight technologies. With the introduction of innovative net weight solutions such as XACT-FIL™️ weight fillers, along with Bulk-FIL™️, Mod-FIL™️, and Simpl-FIL™️ systems over the years, Federal has built a strong reputation for innovation, accuracy, and performance across a wide range of liquid filling applications.

Federal joined ProMach in 2012 and is now a leading manufacturer of liquid filling systems both in Gravity Level and Net Weight. Federal focuses on innovation in liquid filling systems, including the introduction of XACT-FIL™ weight fillers at Pack Expo Las Vegas in 2017. Along with their Bulk-FIL, Mod-FIL, and Simpl-FIL over the years.
