Welsh pioneers settled West Valley City's Granger area in 1849, building an irrigation-based farming economy successful enough to give the community its name. That agricultural base eventually gave way to the manufacturing and food-production companies operating in West Valley City today, and one of the area's top-10 employers now runs a snack-food manufacturing and distribution facility in the city, exactly the kind of high-volume plant that needs packaging equipment running at full speed.
A nutritional-supplement manufacturer headquartered in West Valley City produces mineral supplements and nutritional additives for a global customer base and employs roughly 1,900 people worldwide, while an advanced-composites manufacturer supplying the aerospace industry runs a growing research and manufacturing operation in the same city, evidence of a workforce already comfortable with precision equipment. Your formulation is your edge. PLAN IT's job is to portion it accurately, batch after batch. Precision here isn't optional. West Valley City has no PLAN IT office, but Salt Lake Valley food and supplement producers can see how the region ties together on our Utah location page and food and beverage industry page, and the machines plants like these rely on are ready to ship: Mars Series VFFS baggers for sealing snack bags at line speed, EliteWeigh multihead weighers and EliteFill auger fillers for portioning powders and granular supplement ingredients with consistent accuracy, and automatic case packers and case erectors for finishing product into shipping cases without adding headcount to a second shift. The same filling and bagging equipment scales from a snack plant's volumes to a supplement maker's powder batches without a second capital project.
