MARQ Packaging Systems, Inc.

In 1965, one man’s vision changed from a dream to a reality for company founder and CEO, Ted Marquis Sr. With the help of 15 employees and overwhelming support from his family, Packaging Systems was formed which later became known as MARQ Packaging Systems, a leader in innovative and technologically advanced packaging equipment. The main core of the new packaging company was a top and bottom stapling case sealer, known as the MARQ XI, which Ted designed with the help of his one engineer, who was also the lead assembly man, welder and painter. Those humble beginnings have grown to include (3) 50,000sqft+ buildings that house sales, engineering, fabrication and assembly on over 10 acres located in beautiful Yakima, WA, the heart of the Pacific Northwest. MARQ’s packaging equipment now includes case erector bottom sealers, uniform and random sealers, vibration settling/sealing and tray-formers. Each machine is specifically manufactured based on each customer’s unique line requirements and needs. Our equipment runs the full range from semi-automatic to the pioneering. | MARQ Packaging Systems has been designing and manufacturing case handling equipment for 60 years.
