A nuclear-weapons-trigger manufacturing complex operated just outside Arvada from 1952 to 1992, the most notable heavy-industrial facility the area has hosted. Arvada itself is predominately a residential community with light industry and professional offices, centered on the historic Olde Town Arvada commercial district. That light-industry profile is why the food and beverage producers PLAN IT's packaging automation equips are concentrated in the surrounding Denver-Boulder corridor rather than inside Arvada's own limits. Arvada's own founding traces to that same stretch of Clear Creek: an 1850 gold strike by prospector Lewis Ralston, part of the rush that also built up neighboring Golden and Denver's early industry.

Producers across the Denver-Boulder corridor, from established co-packers to newer CPG operations, need equipment PLAN IT builds every day. You bring the recipe; we bring a line that bags and cases it at speed without babysitting every batch. Tell us your bag size and your case count, and we'll match the equipment to it. PLAN IT keeps no office in Arvada itself, but corridor producers on the city's doorstep get full equipment support all the same. Mars Series VFFS baggers bag snacks, powders, and frozen foods, and PackMaster automatic case packers box that same output at line speed, no extra hands required. For a corridor that grew up on an 1850 gold strike before settling into food and beverage production, the Colorado location page and food and beverage industry page fill in the wider picture; the VFFS and automatic case-packer categories cover the machines themselves, and the solutions page holds the rest of the catalog.
