A Legacy Built on Technical Expertise

BEC Technical Services was founded in 1986 by Bruce Crain, whose background in electronics and electromechanical systems formed the backbone of our business. What started as a specialist repair service for plastic strapping machines evolved into a full-service provider for a broad range of packaging systems. Bruce’s career path—from servicing electronic church organs to mastering early Japanese-made strapping machines—equipped him with a rare skill set that proved invaluable as the packaging industry began to adopt more complex, technology-driven systems.
 

Over the years, BEC Technical has remained at the forefront of industrial packaging service by constantly evolving. Today, we repair, maintain, and optimize a wide variety of packaging machines, from legacy systems to the latest automation-integrated equipment.
