About
Amtech Software
The Connected Packaging Operations Platform
Amtech Software is the connected packaging operations platform purpose-built for corrugated, folding carton, flexible packaging and label manufacturers. Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Pennsylvania, Amtech combines enterprise resource planning (ERP), packaging ERP software, MES software for packaging industry, AI-augmented scheduling, and cloud-ready infrastructure into a single, unified platform built as a manufacturing ERP for packaging industry operations.
Amtech Software is trusted by more than 1,250 manufacturing plants and 60,000 users across North America, Latin America, and Europe. It is the only packaging platform that natively connects estimating, planning, plant-floor execution, and financial performance through connected packaging ERP systems and scalable packaging industry software solutions.
A 40-Year Foundation in Packaging Technology
Since 1981, Amtech has focused on a single mission: building technology that understands how packaging plants operate.
What began as software for corrugated manufacturers has grown into a platform supporting corrugated manufacturing software, folding carton manufacturing software, and label printing ERP software environments across multiple regions and production workflows.
Over four decades, Amtech has developed deep vertical knowledge that generic manufacturing software cannot replicate. The platform understands the nuance of trim optimization, die management, substrate costing, sheet-feeder-to-converter workflows, and the full order lifecycle from quote to delivery. This is purpose-built ERP software for packaging companies, designed as connected packaging manufacturing management software rather than a generic ERP adapted later for packaging.
Today, Amtech invests close to one-third of its revenue back into the platform, continuously developing the core ERP engines, expanding AI capabilities, hardening cloud infrastructure, and modernizing the tools that 60,000 users depend on daily. Amtech is backed by Vista Equity Partners, providing the institutional stability and capital to execute on a long-term product roadmap.

The Amtech Platform
Amtech is architecting the packaging industry’s only purpose-built, AI-augmented, cloud-ready operations platform. The platform is built in three integrated layers: a secure cloud foundation, purpose-built ERP engines, and an intelligence layer combining MES and AI.
Cloud-Ready Infrastructure and Cybersecurity
Ransomware is now the number one operational threat facing packaging manufacturers. On-premise servers running aging operating systems are no longer just an IT concern, they are a business continuity risk. Manufacturing ransomware incidents have increased 56–61%, and the average ransom demand has exceeded $1.2 million.
Amtech’s cloud hosting options are available today, with a clear modernization path to full SaaS and scalable cloud ERP for packaging industry environments for customers moving off on-premise deployments.
The proof: Apple Corrugated recovered from two separate ransomware attacks and a flood, restoring full plant operations within a single business day.
Key Capabilities:
- Continuous security scanning via Veracode
- Packaging-aware disaster recovery with defined RTO/RPO targets
- Proven rapid restore: operational within 24 hours of a major disruption
- A secure, scalable path from on-premise to cloud-native operations
Purpose-Built ERP: EnCore and Label Traxx
At the core of the platform are two purpose-built ERP engines, EnCore, an ERP for corrugated box manufacturers and folding carton operations and Label Traxx, a connected label printing ERP software platform for label converters.
EnCore manages the full job lifecycle through connected packaging production management software, including estimating, order management, scheduling, plant-floor execution, inventory, billing, and financial reporting.
Label Traxx is Amtech’s dedicated label printing management system and ERP platform for label manufacturers, supporting 500+ customers and 10,000 users globally, with active cloud migration programs bringing label converters onto modern infrastructure.
The proof: Steinhauser improved gross margins by 30% by using Amtech as their trusted system of record.
Key Capabilities:
- Estimating and quoting with substrate and cost intelligence
- Automated Performance Costing (APC) updates price models in hours, not weeks
- Order management, production scheduling, and inventory
- Billing, financial reporting, and operational analytics
- Multilingual, multi-currency support for international operations
- Robust APIs for third-party integrations
These capabilities support connected packaging order management software, packaging inventory management software, and packaging production scheduling software workflows.
AI and MES Intelligence
Amtech is expanding AI across the platform where it delivers measurable, workflow-specific value, not as a passive copilot, but as an active layer that improves scheduling, automates estimating, and surfaces real-time operational intelligence.
Agentic AI / Automated Estimating
Amtech’s AI automates estimating workflows, reducing manual burden and accelerating the quote-to-cash cycle.
Advanced Planning Board (APB) with AI-Augmented Scheduling
Machine-learning assisted scheduling that continuously learns from plant-floor reality. Coleman Containers moved from 0% to 85% automated scheduling, achieving 95%+ OTIF.
Batched Scheduling
Purpose-built for corrugated, Batched optimizes the P&L, balancing throughput against margin to ensure the schedule is profitable, not just full.
ScoreKeeper Anywhere
Mobile machine monitoring for real-time OEE visibility from anywhere. Taylor Prime Labels reduced unscheduled maintenance tickets from 50–60% down to 21%.
AVA (Visual Analytics) Operational dashboards and packaging industry business intelligence software for plant leaders and executives, identifying margin leakage and benchmarking performance.
EnCore Alerts
Configurable event-based notifications that surface issues as they arise, enabling proactive operations management.
How Amtech Is Different
Purpose-Built Vertical Depth
Amtech was built for packaging, not adapted from a generic manufacturing platform. This depth cannot be replicated quickly or cheaply.
Unified Platform, Not a Patchwork
One data backbone, one vendor relationship, one support team accountable for the full system, no integration tax passed on to the customer.
Operational Resilience, Proven
Amtech customers have recovered from ransomware, fires, and floods, restoring full operations within a single day. This is a proven track record backed by real customer stories.
Margin Intelligence, Not Just Throughput
Automated Performance Costing (APC) allows packaging companies to update cost models in hours, not weeks. Steinhauser improved gross margins by 30%.
Our Promise
Amtech reinvests almost one third of its revenue into the platform to help our customers improve their business operations. The system customers buy today will continue to evolve, with new AI capabilities, cloud improvements, and product expansions.
Global Scale, Industry Focus
