Early half-gallon and quart gable top packaging machines from then Cherry-Burrell (now Evergreen Packaging Equipment)
Cedar Rapids, IA: With a dairy heritage dating back to 1880, Evergreen Packaging Equipment is celebrating 140 years in business. John Cherry developed the first insulated cream can. At a similar time, David Burrell introduced the first American centrifugal cream separator. The two would merge their businesses and form the Cherry-Burrell Corporation. Many years later, its name would change to Evergreen Packaging Equipment. The company maintained its dairy focus through many owners, name changes, and even the manufacture of military parts during World War II.
