Tempe's own economy has moved away from the crops that built it, toward precision manufacturing and university research, but the Phoenix metro surrounding the city still runs on food and beverage production, and packaging automation such as VFFS baggers and case packers has to keep pace with that volume. A major public university anchors Tempe's economy today as its largest employer, with 8,010 people on payroll, and an aerospace and industrial-systems manufacturer counts roughly 1,540 employees among the city's top-10 employers, a mark of how far the local economy has shifted toward high-precision, tight-tolerance production. That shift sits atop a much older identity: Hohokam farmers dug irrigation canals through the area centuries before Tempe was founded in 1871 along the Salt River, and when the Maricopa and Phoenix Railroad crossed the river here in 1887, the town became an economic hub for the farming communities around it.
We supply Mars Series VFFS baggers and automatic case packers built for food and beverage producers shipping across the Phoenix metro, the same market surrounding Tempe's university and aerospace-driven economy today. You know precision manufacturing leaves zero room for error; we hold packaging lines to the same standard. Downtime isn't an option. Both machine types integrate into new or existing Phoenix-metro lines without a full rebuild, backed by service our food and beverage clients can actually reach. Phoenix-metro producers can start with the VFFS packaging machine and automatic case packer category pages for machine-level detail, then look at our Arizona location page and food and beverage industry page for the bigger statewide picture. Our solutions page covers what comes next: spec review, equipment build, and installation on a Phoenix-metro production floor. We don't have an office in Tempe itself, but our team works hands-on with food and beverage manufacturers across the Phoenix metro to spec, install, and support the equipment their volume actually needs.
