About the company
About the company
With a little ingenuity and a lot of hard work, Joe and his brother, Louis Wenger, founded the Wenger Mixing Company in a small town in Kansas (USA) in 1935. They then designed a machine that mixed molasses with dry feed ingredients and thus they began to produce pellets in 1948.
The novel idea of the Wenger brothers created a worldwide industry. Seventy-five years later, Wenger Manufacturing, Inc. remains a family business committed to innovation in the extrusion market.
Today, Wenger offers a range of premium single-screw extruders, twin-screw extruders, dryers/coolers, coating systems, and control systems. A new generation of proud employees work for customer satisfaction in our multiple plants, in our world-class research and development center, and in sales and service offices around the world.
Wenger equipment is unmatched in quality. Perhaps even more important, it is the reputation we have built by having long-lasting partnerships with customers. Lasting because of our dedication, ingenuity, and responsiveness - and our promise to deliver on that commitment for generations to come.
