Beef and mozzarella cheese processed in Greeley reach supermarket shelves and restaurant supply chains across the country, riding on packaging equipment most shoppers never think about. A large-scale beef-packing operation anchors the city's employer base today, with 5,141 people on staff, Greeley's single largest employer. The world's largest mozzarella-cheese maker built a $270 million dairy-processing plant here in three phases between 2010 and 2017, adding roughly 500 jobs to a food-manufacturing base already anchored by cattle feeding and dairy production across Weld County, one of the top agricultural-producing counties in the country.

That combination doesn't leave slack in the schedule. A cheese plant built for national volume and a beef plant carrying Greeley's largest payroll both need bagging and case-packing systems that keep pace with cuts and blocks coming off the line, not equipment that becomes the bottleneck. We supply Mars Series VFFS baggers for high-speed bagging of shredded cheese, portioned meat cuts, and other packaged food products, along with automatic case packers that box those same cuts and blocks as fast as the bagging line fills them. We keep no office in Greeley, only a direct line to the region's meat and dairy processors who spec and install this equipment with us, matched to the volume Weld County's cattle and dairy operations already produce every day. The case study on scaling food production walks through a comparable buildout; the VFFS machine category and automatic case packer lineup cover the equipment itself, and the food and beverage industry page, Colorado location page, and solutions page round out the rest for Greeley's processors.
