Westminster's economy traces back to an 1858 gold discovery in the South Platte River Valley, part of the broader Pikes Peak Gold Rush that first drew settlers to Colorado. That mining-era foothold grew into a diversified base of high-tech, medical, and energy employers, the kind of mix that keeps a city's manufacturing sector from depending on any single industry. One piece of that base stands out for packaging specifically: the aluminum-can and metal-packaging giant headquartered in Westminster ships cans and containers to beverage and food producers across the country, and those producers then need packaging automation of their own, filling, casing, and palletizing product at scale before it reaches a shelf.

That aluminum-can anchor sits alongside an energy cooperative also headquartered in Westminster, one more piece of the same diversified base. You fill the can; we build what fills it. Beverage and food producers working downstream of that can rely on Mars Series VFFS baggers for bagged snacks and dry goods, EliteWeigh multihead weighers and EliteFill auger fillers for portioned or powdered products, and automatic case packers and case erectors for getting filled containers into shipping cases at line speed, and PLAN IT supplies all three without a branch office anywhere near Westminster. The Colorado location page and food and beverage industry page cover the regional base, the VFFS machine category and automatic case packer lineup cover the equipment, and our solutions page rounds out the full catalog.
