THE HISTORY OF BAKER PERKINS FES INC, USA

The twin-screw food extrusion machinery business moved, with the rest of the food division, from Saginaw to Poplarwood Ct., Raleigh, N.C. in 1982. In the following year, the offices and laboratories of the staff concerned with food extrusion systems were relocated to new premises in North Boulevard, Raleigh.

On April 1st 1986, Baker Perkins FES Inc, moved out of Raleigh and re-located to Grand Rapids, Michigan, close to the Werner Lehara facility to "allow us to command additional resources in system design, manufacturing and service. Our customers will have access to the food extrusion test centre, pilot plant facility and the new confectionery technology centre".
