History of Henry & Sons

Henry & Sons was founded by Dave Henry in 1980. Dave has amassed over 10 years of experience in the food processing industry (including his work with Roger Reiser prior to establishing Henry & Sons). His vast knowledge and experience taught him two things in particular: customers’ requests are vitally important, and you must continue to improve technology and modernization in the industry. With this successful philosophy, Dave took a leap of faith and established Henry & Sons.

Dave’s original vision for Henry & Sons was to service, repair and overhaul his customers’ existing machinery. After only a few months, it was apparent there was a need for improved and alternative parts for the existing machinery, including the VEMAG stuffers.

After 44 years of evolving and growing, Henry & Sons has matured into a company that develops, engineers, and manufactures thousands of replacement parts for VEMAG vacuum fillers.

As a family business, each generation is taking the company to even higher levels of success and creativity. Dave’s son, Mark Henry, was raised in the business and is now the President of Henry & Sons. What is even more exciting is the addition of Morgan Henry, Mark’s oldest son and Dave’s grandson. Wisdom and knowledge are being passed down to each generation, making it a threegeneration (and counting) success story!
