Richmond's shipyards built a cargo ship every 30 days during World War II, a pace of production few cities have matched. We bring that same manufacturing intensity to food and beverage packaging lines across the Bay Area today.

A packaging equipment buyer scaling production in Richmond has real industrial history to measure up to. During World War II, shipyards on the Richmond waterfront built 747 Victory and Liberty ships, more than any other single site in the country, at times finishing a ship in as few as five days and averaging one new vessel every 30 days. An automobile assembly plant had already been running in the city since 1930, and the working port that grew up around all of it still moves cargo by the millions of tons each year, alongside a major oil refinery still operating in the city.
Richmond's own history is heavy industrial, not food and beverage. The Bay Area food, beverage, and consumer-goods manufacturers surrounding the city are the producers we actually supply, running lines that scale snack foods, bagged products, or bottled and canned goods. For that work we supply Mars series vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) machines and automatic case packers that keep pace with high-volume runs, matching the throughput needed to rival Richmond's own manufacturing legacy. We know how to keep a line moving at Richmond's old pace; you know your own recipe better than anyone. Modern buyers won't find a PLAN IT plant sitting on the Richmond waterfront. We supply and integrate packaging equipment for producers throughout the Bay Area, backing every installation with ongoing service and support. The California location page, food and beverage industry page, VFFS and case packer equipment lines, and solutions overview help plan a production upgrade.
