Our newest manufacturing partner, JASA, is based in the Netherlands and specializes in vertical form fill seal (VFFS) bagging equipment for the fresh produce industry. Fox Solutions is now an authorized U.S. distributor and service partner, handling sales, installation, spare parts, and on-the-ground support from McAllen, Texas. In today's Q&A with them, we're covering the questions produce packers ask most about working with JASA equipment.
Q: Why choose JASA?
A: Partnering with JASA means working with a manufacturer built around long-term performance and customer relationships. Our vertical baggers are engineered for the realities of fresh produce packing and tailored to the specifications of each operation. We're set up to support customers for the life of the equipment, not just the sale.
Q: What service support can customers expect in case of a malfunction?
A: JASA provides first-line service through trusted local partners like Fox Solutions, which means fast, responsive support for produce packing operations across the U.S. For the rare issue that can't be resolved locally, our partners have 24/7 direct access to our specialists in the Netherlands for immediate escalation.
Q: What are your lead times for spare parts?
A: Our local partners stock critical components and common wear parts, with same-day shipping typically available. In addition, our Netherlands facility carries inventory on over 99% of critical and wear parts for JASA equipment, with orders dispatched no later than the next business day.
Q: Do you provide support with packaging design?
A: JASA works directly with our local partners on machine-specific guidance for material selection and package design, helping fresh produce operations get the most efficient run out of their equipment. On the artwork and graphic design side, Fox Packaging can take it from there.
Q: What are the key benefits of the NXXT series?
A: The NXXT series of vertical baggers is designed to maximize uptime, consistency, and control on the produce packaging line. Fully automated adjustments mean faster changeovers, fewer operator errors, and consistent print positioning, which reduces the risk of recalls, claims, and production loss.
The hygienic, IP66-rated design holds up in demanding washdown environments, and tool-free changeovers keep operation simple with minimal training. Advanced features like RFID user control, predictive maintenance, and JASA Connect provide full transparency and remote service capabilities. The bottom line is higher efficiency, lower risk, and predictable performance.
