Sixty Years Of Firsts. 

In 1946, former blacksmith, Ray Townsend, introduced the first Pork Skinner, Townsend Model 27. The rest, as they say, is history.

Townsend followed that original invention with sixty years of innovation and reliability. Next came the first pork belly skinner, then the first conveyorized skinner, first automatic trimmer with light sensor technology, first low-pressure injector, first automatic sausage linker and first continuous casing system.

Then in 2001, Townsend purchased Protecon-Langen. The marriage of their respective coextrusion technologies created the QX System Quality Coextrusion and tremendous opportunities for sausage processors.  Today, our tradition of innovation and reliability continues under the Stork Food Systems umbrella of companies. 

We represent six areas of meat processing today: skinning, trimming, meat harvesting, curing/marinating, sausage linking and quality coextrusion. We help processors meet the demands of a highly competitive marketplace by designing machines to make them more productive and efficient. Count on Townsend for innovative, reliable food processing solutions.
