A 183,000-square-foot LEED-certified cold-storage center anchors Fontana's place in the Inland Empire's logistics corridor, handling chilled and frozen goods that need packaging automation to keep moving to hundreds of food-service locations. The center opened in 2018 with a 60,000-square-foot freezer built into it, and a short drive away in the Fontana Gateway industrial area, a large-scale bottled-beverage manufacturer runs fill and case lines around the clock. Both plants move product on a schedule with no slack in it: cold-chain product runs against a shelf-life clock, and the bottling line is contracted to fill trucks on a set rotation. If your plant supplies either site, or ships through the same Gateway corridor, you need packaging equipment sized to that volume, not general-purpose gear retrofitted to fit.

Our Mars Series VFFS baggers form, fill, and seal bags at the speed cold-chain lines demand, while automatic case packers box product for pallet-ready shipping without slowing the line. Bottling operations need case erectors and case packers designed for glass and PET runs, along with checkweighers and metal detection to catch fill or contamination issues before cases leave the dock. Fontana's economy grew up on heavy industry, anchored for decades by a large steel mill that closed in 1983, and today's logistics and food-distribution base carries that same scale forward on trucks instead of rail cars. A cold-storage plant running three shifts and a bottling line in the Gateway corridor both need service outside normal business hours, so we schedule installs and changeovers around the clock those plants actually keep. Fontana doesn't have a PLAN IT branch office; what it has is Mars Series VFFS baggers and case packers in stock across California and consultative service on call.
