Moen
Industries (then known as Moen Machine Works) was founded in 1951
by former President Lenard Moen and his father Wilber. Located
in a Quonset hut type building in Santa Fe Springs, California,
the company was primarily a job shop for machined metal parts.
In 1955, Moen
moved to another location in Santa Fe Springs and entered into
fabrication and repair work in addition to their job shop activities.
|
|
| |
Soon after, woodworking
and handling machinery became part of their line as Moen began designing
and fabricating proprietary products. About the same time, the company
began repairing automatic packaging machines.
|

First Automated
BLISS Former
The experience gained in repairing packaging equipment
prompted Moen to design and patent their own machine
in 1964. The result was the first machine to automatically
assemble and hot melt glue Bliss style corrugated
containers in high speed production. This machine was
the forerunner to our PF103, PF106 & PF129 series
Bliss Formers.
With the addition
of packaging machinery to their list of
proprietary products, Moen moved to a 13,600 square
foot building to help meet the demand created by the new
Moen Bliss Former in the fresh fruit and produce industry.

|
|
|
Moen spent
the next ten years at this new Santa Fe Springs location, manufacturing
hundreds of formers for the heavy fruit growing regions in California
and Florida.
New
38,000 Square Foot Facility
By 1975, Moen designed a full line of Bliss and Tray Formers and
had completed a move to our present location in Santa Fe Springs,
now under the direction of Carl L. Moen, President and Owner.
Directly across the street from our second location, this facility
contains 38,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space.

Moen
Introduces H-Bliss Box
Three years later, Moen introduced a new machine
and box design that has become one of the more
important
developments in Bliss corrugated
packaging since the Bliss box forming process
was first automated in 1964. This machine is our
model PF106-HLV H-Bliss Former and the
container is the H-Bliss box.
Need
For Displayable Packaging
This marketing shift yielded a new Moen machine
design specifically for display ready applications;
The Moen model PF106-LB Lamo-Bliss Former.
|
 |
|
| |
The
need for better displayable packaging prompted other container designs
for point of purchase display. The Internal Flange Bliss Display, H-Bliss
Display, and Lamo-Tray all became popular based on their individual strengths.
It wasn't until the 1990's and the increased popularity of the Club and
Warehouse Stores, that displayable packaging became a necessity for every
producer who looked to remain competitive.
Since 1964, Moen Industries has been a leader in manufacturing high quality,
high speed packaging equipment for a variety of high strength corrugated
box designs. Moen Industries produces box forming and sealing equipment
for a variety of display box designs seen in Clubstores and Warehouse
Stores today. |
