Austin, Texas

community involvement

2019 was a busy year for the ePac Austin location. The team co-hosted a handful of events and tours at their manufacturing plant, such as Food + Tech Austin, a meetup group that connects brands with people in the food and tech industries to accelerate the good food innovation movement. 

ePac Austin had the opportunity to participate in the Food Incubation Summit, a conference for food kitchen operators, incubator administrators, and industry service providers from all over the US. ePac’s CMO, Carl Joachim, spoke on a panel about helping food businesses scale with services, and the plant served as a stop on the Austin Food System bus tour, where attendees had the opportunity to tour the facility and participate in a Q&A about their platform and partnership opportunities. 

An active sponsor of the local Naturally Network chapter, ePac Austin has regularly attended industry events such as the annual Naturally Austin Pitch Slams, and even had one of our customers, Slice of Sauce, pitch their company to the panel of judges in the fall of 2019. The Naturally Network is dedicated to fostering sustainable and responsible entrepreneurship and innovation within local natural products food communities.
