Frain Industries Opens New Showroom with Equipment from Over 70 OEMs

oem magazine

mar. 20, 2026

A sign inside Frain Industries’ new showroom sums up the company’s unique model: “Zero missed opportunities – OEMs build it, Frain buys it, end users rent it, repeat.”

The 200,000-sq-ft showroom at Frain’s Carol Stream, Ill., facility physically embodies that model, housing over 2,000 packaging and processing equipment solutions from over 70 OEM partners. The company purchases this equipment new from OEMs, stocking its rental fleet for CPGs who need a quick turnaround installation.

“If an OEM’s customer is looking to have a piece of equipment built, it could take 10 to 12 months to build it new. We can get them up and running and producing in a matter of two weeks for packaging equipment. If it’s processing equipment, a lot of times we can turn that in 48 hours,” explains Mary Woodrick, brand ambassador at Frain.
