History

Hart Design & Manufacturing has been making superior quality cheese processing and packaging equipment since 1975. The original company was formed by two food packaging engineers, Gilbert Hannon and Gerald Schaetz. Today Hart's engineering, sales and production groups have extensive backgrounds in the food packing and processing machinery industry.

Hart's reputation brought in an impressive list of early customers. The company grew rapidly, and in 1981, a new 4,000-square-foot manufacturing facility was constructed at 1922 Radisson Street, in a new industrial park on the northeast side of Green Bay. The new facility enhanced Hart Design's ability to design and manufacture equipment to the highest standards and quality.

As orders grew, the need for larger manufacturing facilities grew. In 1985, the company expanded to 16,000 square feet and other additions were made in 1989, 1991 and 1993.

Today, the Hart Design & Manufacturing facility encompasses more than 40,000 square feet and employs more than 60 craftsmen serving customers worldwide. Hart Design's sales staff travels the world working closely with customers, many of whom are the world's top cheese producers, to help determine the most efficient strategies for satisfying their equipment needs. The Hart Design sales and engineering team is always meeting with new or existing customers to discuss new applications and equipment needs.

Customer Service

Rather than have a separate team of field service technicians, Hart Design's Assembly Teams are also the Field Service Teams. The same technicians who assembled your equipment in the Hart shop will service your equipment in your plant. As a result, they thoroughly understand your particular equipment. From original installation to regular maintenance to troubleshooting, you talk to the same people. They know your machine.

Solutions

Flexibility, Full Service and Quality are the backbone of Hart Design & Manufacturing. The craftsmen at Hart Design produce what could be called a standard line of equipment consisting of systems for Cutting and Conveying, Filling and Packaging Process Loaf Cheese, Cheese Casting and 8 oz. Cream Cheese Packaging. But that is where the standard ends…and the client's needs begin.

Every client is special. Every client's need is unique. Hart Design uses proven technologies to produce quality equipment to specifically satisfy the client's process or packaging requirements.

Listening to the customer is one of Hart Design's strongest assets. The Sales, Engineering and Design teams work closely with the client to determine the most efficient design for their equipment. Some orders begin with a blueprint, some orders begin with an idea scribbled on a napkin…but all orders begin with a customer's primary question, "Can you do this…?"… and in most cases, the Hart Design team can.
