Ken Kunze, the founder of Automation SE, set out more than 30 years ago with an entrepreneurial spirit and a set of beliefs that still guide the company today. Houston, Texas based Automation SE built the first servo filler and servo retrofits for clutch-brake systems in 1987 at the company’s inception.  Designed to eliminate many of the common problems that many popular designs exhibited, the servo-based controls brought increased production speeds and higher dispensing accuracy to the auger filler industry than had previously been possible. 

Since then, Automation SE has expanded both into a modern manufacturing facility, while adding additional product offerings. Through observing and discussing customer’s pain points, new solutions joined Automation SE’s product line including many different applications such as coffee, teas, powders, cake mixes, spices, construction mixes, and many, many more!

Our team has grown with a dedication to deliver high quality, custom packaging machinery that is built specific for each project. From custom engineering the control system to building everything in-house in our facility, we deliver the most efficient solutions for your project needs. Our focus is to improve your bottom line and measure ROI as quickly as possible.

From believing in the importance of customer first, continuous improvement, and industrial reliability to manufacturing in the United States, these central tenets guide all strategy and design within the company.

“Each project has provided exceptional value and ROI, helping us build capability to meet the increasing demand our business is experiencing... one of the best I’ve come across and delivers beyond strong machines and controls, [they] understand the value of data that can be pulled from his controls and builds data capture into the package.”
