Reiser Inc. is celebrating its 50th anniversary as a food processing and packaging equipment supplier to the food industry. In 1959, Rober Reiser & Co. began importing German-made food processing equipment for resale in North America and became the exclusive sales and service agent for Vemag, a German manufacturer known for its continuous vacuum stuffers.

Since that time, the company’s equipment offerings have greatly increased and its business has expanded to include its headquarters in Canton, Mass., and offices in Canada and England. A new Customer Center is under construction at the Canton office and will open this year. The Center will be used to demonstrate Reiser equipment and allow customers to test new products and processes.
