History

The R.P. Anderson Company was started in 1949 by Randolph P. Anderson, as a reseller and manufacture representative for companies such as Resina, Biner Ellison and King Sales

The beverage and food packaging industry started to change significantly in the late 1950's and early 1960's, with greater emphasis being placed on efficiency, increased production and space utilization. By 1965, R.P. Anderson Co. started engineering and installing the most efficient, high-speed lines in the industry.

Today, we continue to provide these systems dedicated to providing customers with the highest quality equipment available in the industry. R.P. Anderson stands behind every system we sell with personal service and follow up that customers have counted on since 1949.

Bob Graham, the current president of R.P. Anderson Company, Inc., joined the RPA team in 1971 as a sales executive. Over the past 30 years years, Bob's knowledge of equipment and the industry as a whole has grown so tremendously that he has a reputation in the industry that can be matched by very few individuals.

After nine years of hard work and dedication, Bob was able to purchase from Randolph P. Anderson the controlling interest of R.P. Anderson Company in 1980. Never once forgetting where he got his start and out of respect for his mentor, the name of our company has stayed the same.

To this day, Bob Graham continues to be the driving force behind our company. His never-ending drive has propelled our company to international status with installations in China, Italy, Germany, Yugoslavia, Mexico, countries in Africa as well as other countries throughout the world.

Our sales team and service departments, made up of first class, knowledgeable individuals are always on the go servicing existing accounts, searching out the newest technologies in the industry, and developing new relationships with potential customers. Their never-ending desire to satisfy our customers is a true testimony of why the R.P. Anderson Company continues to be successful to this day. Teamwork and a commitment to our customers is the first and only focus of our first class team.

The biggest misconception in purchasing new equipment is that it will cost your more to use a representative to complete your purchases instead of going straight to the manufacturer. This is just not true. It does not cost you a penny more for our services. As a matter of fact, the 53 years of experience that goes with purchasing from us is just an added bonus to your purchase. We do all of the footwork for you by getting quotes and seeking out the best possible equipment for your project, both productively and economically. Being centrally located in your region, we can come and sit down with you and answer all the questions and concerns that may arise when making a decision. After the sale, we can assist you in any issues that may arise in the areas of service, operation or employee training.

If you are in need of packaging equipment or have questions concerning upcoming projects, please call one of our customer service professionals and we will be more than happy to assist you.
