Kemp's Machine Company, Inc. is a renowned manufacturer dedicated to serving the food processing and packaging industry with innovative equipment and unparalleled service. Founded by Greg Kemp, Sr. in the early 1970s, the company has its roots in designing and building American-made machinery. Greg's early career saw him working for various companies, which provided him with valuable insights into the industry, eventually leading to the establishment of his own business, Metal Craft Fabricators. The early days were marked by hands-on entrepreneurship and a love for crafting machines from raw steel.
In 1990, after years of growth and an expanding clientele, Greg changed the company's name to Kemp's Machine Co., with the aspiration of working alongside his son, Greg Kemp, Jr. The father-son duo collaborated closely, leading to significant innovations and the installation of major projects like the largest apple packing line in Minnesota at the time. Their strong partnership reinforced Kemp's Machine’s reputation for creating customized equipment solutions tailored to the specific needs of clients.
In 2018, after relocating his operations to Yakima Valley and subsequently retiring, Greg Sr. passed leadership to Greg Jr., who has successfully expanded the company’s capabilities. Under Greg Jr.'s leadership, Kemp's Machine has transitioned from a strict manufacturing focus to a broader approach centered around innovation and integration. He has built lasting relationships with global vendors, enabling Kemp's Machine to provide clients with unique, custom-designed solutions that set them apart in the industry. Today, the company continues to honor the legacy of its founder while driving advancements in food processing technology, ensuring that Kemp's Machine remains at the forefront of the sector.
