For the first century after its 1852 incorporation, Santa Clara's economy ran on orchards and vegetable fields, part of a valley so dense with fruit trees and canneries that it earned the nickname 'Valley of Heart's Delight.' Very little of that agricultural landscape survived the semiconductor industry's arrival around 1960, which reshaped the valley into the manufacturing and technology center it is today; Santa Clara now hosts headquarters for major semiconductor and manufacturing-equipment companies, and a former campus on the historic Agnews site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Packaging automation had no real place in the orchard economy those companies replaced, but it has one now.

Food and beverage producers still operating in or supplying the Santa Clara area work inside a region shaped by tight tolerances and repeatable output. Downtime was never an option here. Our Mars Series VFFS baggers and automatic case packers hold that bar, forming, filling, and sealing pouches at a consistent rate, then packing finished product into cases without a manual hand-off slowing the line. You already run to precision-manufacturing tolerances here; we build the packaging line that holds that same discipline for food and beverage product. A city that once measured its output in tons of canned fruit and now measures it in wafers still needs packaging equipment that can hold a tolerance and keep running, whichever product happens to be moving through the plant.
