In 1902, Loos Machine began as a small maintenance and repair shop for local farmers. Over the years, we have transitioned into a thriving business that paves the way for the food processing industry. In 2006, Loos Machine Shop added an automation division and now claims the name Loos Machine & Automation.

Providing automation, engineering, machining, fabrication, process and installation, our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility utilizes modern techniques and machines such as Laser Cutting Systems, CNC Machining Centers, and CNC Press Brakes.
