At Oktober Design, we craft precision canning equipment that meets the demands of both professional brewers and homebrewers alike. From our early sketches to a thriving business, we’ve continued to push the boundaries of design innovation, and our products have evolved to meet the needs of various industries.

Our team started with three mechanical engineers, led by 10 years of experience designing precision machines for the aerospace industry.  This experience is directly reflected in the robust, no-nonsense design of our entire product offering.

This year, we're introducing the Oktober Canning Line, an affordable, fully automatic system that runs at 20 cans per minute, making canning more efficient for breweries of all sizes. Alongside it, the Oktober Depalletizer streamlines full-height pallet handling with a smarter, layer-by-layer approach, eliminating bulky overhead systems. And our trusted Model 8 Automatic Can Seamer continues to provide consistency and ease, making on-demand canning more accessible.

Beyond equipment, we simplify can sourcing with custom pre-labeled cans, brite cans, and flexible ordering options—all backed by dedicated support. Thanks to our strong manufacturing relationships, we source parts locally in vibrant West Michigan, while our Sparks/Reno, Nevada location helps keep shipping costs down for West Coast customers. Since launching online sales in 2016, we’ve grown thanks to happy customers and a commitment to quality.

When we're not in the shop—kept moving by a steady diet of electronic music—you’ll find us exploring the many breweries of Grand Rapids, aka "Beer City USA."

Whether you’re scaling up or just getting started, we're here to help you can with confidence.
