Long before craft breweries and specialty cheesemakers moved in, the land beneath Cal Poly Pomona's campus belonged to the ranch of a breakfast-cereal magnate, a historical footnote that ties the city to the food industry going back generations. That connection carries into the present. A specialty cheese producer runs its production facility on 3rd Street, making burrata, mozzarella, and other fresh Italian cheeses for the region, and a working craft brewery operates its own production site in North Pomona. Both are exactly the kind of small-to-mid-volume food and beverage operations where packaging automation makes the biggest difference, trading hand-packing and manual case work for consistent, repeatable output.
Pomona's location adds another layer of opportunity. Sitting at the western edge of the Inland Empire, one of the largest warehouse and logistics-distribution regions in the country, the city sits inside a broader food and consumer-goods throughput corridor that depends on reliable case packing and palletizing to keep product moving. Our EcoBagger premade-pouch machines and Mars Series VFFS baggers handle your cheese, dairy, and beverage packaging, and our automatic case packers take on the throughput a growing dairy or brewery line needs. Fresh Italian cheese and craft beer don't scale past hand-packing on their own; consistent pouching and case-packing volume is what gets them there. PLAN IT doesn't keep a plant in Pomona itself, but that hasn't stopped the 3rd Street cheesemaker or the North Pomona brewery from getting machines installed and serviced. California accounts get consultative reps in person and in-stock machines ready for a cheese or beverage line scaling toward full volume.
