Fremont's largest employer runs an electric-vehicle manufacturing plant that employed roughly 25,000 people as of 2024, built on the site of a joint-venture auto assembly plant that closed in 2010. Decades earlier, a computer factory here built an early personal computer before production ended in 1993, and by 1999 roughly 750 high-tech companies, including chip and data-storage makers, had offices, headquarters, or production facilities in the city. That precision, high-tolerance, continuous-production discipline built up inside the auto and electronics plants, and it doesn't stay inside them. It reaches your packaging line too. Food and beverage producers across the Bay Area now expect the same standard from their own packaging lines. We build the equipment that meets it.
Fremont's roots are older than any of that. Before the city industrialized from the 1950s onward, the Niles-area economy ran on agriculture, grapes, nursery plants, and olives, along with a historic flour mill. That agricultural base is long gone, but the throughput problem it created is the one packaging automation solves today. PLAN IT's PackMaster cobot palletizers and robotic case packers move food and beverage product from filled package to shipping pallet without manual handling, matching the precision auto and electronics plants demand. Mars Series VFFS baggers and automatic case packers add speed on the packaging side for producers running snack, beverage, or bakery lines at volume. Fremont-area producers can bring that precision to a packaging line: our California locations page has the details on nearby installs, alongside our food and beverage industry page, our case study on scaling food production, our VFFS packaging machines, our automatic case packers, and the rest of our packaging solutions.
