Wichita Falls built its early economy on flour milling, food processing, cattle, and rail, industries that shaped the city long before packaging automation existed as a category. Joseph Kemp and Frank Kell, the entrepreneurs who built the city in the early 20th century, put flour milling and food processing at the center of local commerce alongside railroads and livestock trading. That founding industry gave Wichita Falls its start well before Sheppard Air Force Base became the area's largest employer. It's still the clearest thread tying Wichita Falls to the kind of packaging equipment we build, even though no confirmed food manufacturer operates in the city today.

Flour, feed, and other dry bulk products still need filling and bagging equipment somewhere in this region, whichever plants are handling that work now. We build EliteFill auger and powder filling systems for producers dosing fine or free-flowing ingredients, and EcoBagger and RotoBagger premade-pouch bagging machines for dry goods packed into stand-up or flat-bottom formats. Both machine types are available in-stock, detailed further on our auger and powder-filling category page and our premade-pouch category page. A milling town's history doesn't require a plant of ours on the same street: our Texas locations page, our powder and granular industry page, and our solutions page walk you through how North Texas producers get that support instead.
