The History of Minnesota Automation

Minnesota Automation, located in the heart of Northern Minnesota's beautiful Brainerd Lakes Area, was incorporated in September 1978 with just three employees. The focus of the company was to build special machinery and to complete retrofits and modifications to existing packaging machinery .

In 1991 Riverwood International Corporation acquired Minnesota Automation, adding it to its world-wide engineering and manufacturing operations. In 2003 Riverwood International merged with Graphic Packaging to form GRAPHIC PACKAGING INTERNATIONAL, INC.

The Crosby, Minnesota facility supports the corporation's beverage carton business as the primary manufacturer of bottle and can multi-pack machines. These beverage packaging machines are marketed through Graphic Packaging International in Marietta, Georgia.

Graphic Packaging International, Minnesota Automation Products, presently designs and manufactures a variety of standard and custom packaging machinery. Minnesota Automation's customer list includes manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, food, beverage, tobacco, household, printing, plastics and converting industries. Over 2,000 machines have been installed at more than 400 domestic and international companies.
