Torrance was founded in 1912 as a planned industrial-residential community, laid out with input from landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. and built with manufacturing in mind from the start. Today that planning shows up on the production floor: a major bakery here produces sweet rolls and bread at large scale, one of the clearest direct-fit baked-goods packaging operations in Southern California. Wrapping continuous roll and bread output calls for packaging machinery built to bakery speed, starting with PLAN IT's Pack Series horizontal form fill seal machines, plus flow wrapping and automatic feeding systems that keep a bakery line moving without hand-loading product, and case erectors that turn out shipping-ready cartons at the same pace.
Torrance's manufacturing base extends well past baking. A major Japanese automaker runs its U.S. operations here, a helicopter manufacturer designs and builds aircraft locally, and turbocharger, aircraft-component, and aerospace-fastener makers all operate plants in the city, alongside a refinery supplying a large share of Southern California's gasoline. Torrance bakers work at large scale but expect the same tolerance discipline this city's aerospace suppliers demand, and our flow wrappers and case erectors are built to hold it. We keep no office in Torrance; instead, our team serves baked-goods producers directly, and our California location page, our baked goods industry page, our case study on precision cookie packaging, our flow wrapping and feeding systems category, our horizontal form fill seal category, and our full solutions page lay out how.
