Luthi Machinery

Founded in 1946 as a sardine can label machine manufacturer, Luthi Machinery Company, Inc. is today the world leader in the manufacturing and leasing of tuna can filling machines. Luthi's entry into the world market in 1984 started the company's current growth. In 1996, the majority of the total number of cases of tuna filled worldwide were filled... using Luthi machines. In 2000, Luthi Machinery & Engineering Company, Inc. was acquired by Atlas Pacific Engineering Company, Inc. The Luthi name was changed to Luthi Machinery Company, Inc. and operates the leasing company as a business unit of Atlas Pacific with manufacturing and administration in Pueblo, Colorado. To conform to an industry accustomed to leasing machinery instead of buying, Luthi set up and started their current leasing program for the tuna canneries in 1962. Starting with a single machine for canning chunk-style tuna, the product line has grown over the years to the present offering of two (2) basic machines, SP (solid pack) and the Luthi Rotary Filler (chunk pack) with multiple configurations of each. With modifications the filling machines have been successfully adapted to filling cans of poultry, meat, vegetables and pet food. Although the can filling machines comprise the vast majority of the current business, Luthi also manufacturers cutting machines for poultry, meat, bacon, pet food and tuna.Read More
