GloryBee brings packaging innovation and efficiency while ensuring the highest standards of honey quality
Eugene, Oregon – 2.24.2026 – GloryBee (www.glorybee.com), a Eugene-founded and headquartered company known for its commitment to sustainability and high-quality natural ingredients, has announced the installation of a new, state-of-the-art manufacturing packaging line; a major investment that cements its evolution to a full service honey business with capabilities for co-packing and a premium private label manufacturing.
“This new line represents the culmination of years of hard work reimagining our business,” said Alan Turanski, President of GloryBee. “We’ve transitioned from primarily ingredient focused to becoming a trusted sourcing and manufacturing partner for the best brands across the country in retail, foodservice and food & beverage manufacturing. It’s an exciting new chapter for GloryBee and our regional community and one that brings more capability, reliability, and opportunity to Eugene.”
Massman Companies (www.massman.com), a leader in Connected Plus unscrambling, filling and capping systems, provided GloryBee the new line that combines best-in-class American engineering with leading automation, safety, reliability and sentient technology. From bottle unscrambling and precision liquid filling to advanced labeling and inline metal detection, each component is designed to ensure product integrity, efficiency, and scalability.
Key system components include:
- New England Machinery Bottle Unscrambler (www.neminc.com) – delivers seamless container orientation and line efficiency.
- DTM Filler, Capper, and Conveyors (www.dtmpackaging.com) – designed for high-precision, high-speed filling and capping.
- Mettler Toledo Metal Detection (www.mt.com) – ensures product safety and compliance by detecting even trace levels of metal contaminants.
- Nita Labeler (www.nitalabelingequipment.com) – features 100% servo-synchronization and self-diagnosing automation for rapid changeovers.
“This is a game-changer for our business in becoming a full-service honey manufacturer,” said Grace Colton, Chief Financial Officer-COO at GloryBee. “The new line dramatically increases our packaging capacity and flexibility allowing us to source, fill, label, and ship True Source honey all under one roof. From source-to-shelf it means faster turnaround times, same high-quality products, and more opportunities for us to service customers regionally and across the country.”
“We’re proud to help bring this next-generation line to life,” said John Yeragotelis, VP and General Manager at DTM Packaging. “GloryBee’s investment shows what’s possible when a heritage brand combines vision with new technology. GloryBee is a true benchmark for modern food manufacturing and packaging.”
The new packaging line, entirely made in North America, strengthens the region’s food systems by building local manufacturing capacity, creating new jobs, and reducing supply chain risks. It also significantly expands GloryBee’s ability to support premier national and regional private label brand clients with end-to-end solutions – from sourcing and formulation to packaging and distribution.
Founded in 1975, GloryBee remains family-owned and deeply rooted in Eugene, Oregon. The company’s mission, to provide ethically sourced ingredients while promoting sustainability and stewardship, continues to guide every investment and innovation.
