History of Cannon Equipment

Designer and Manufacturer of Merchandising and Distribution Equipment

While Cannon Equipment was officially formed in 1981, the companies that were acquired to create Cannon Equipment have much longer histories, dating back to 1941. Cannon Equipment was officially formed when the Distribution Equipment Division (DED) of IMI Cornelius merged its manufacturing operations in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, into Point-of-Sales, a beverage display manufacturer based in Cannon Falls, Minnesota. A new company emerged, named Cannon Equipment, and became part of the IMI family.

Cannon is now a premier designer and manufacturer of stocked and custom material handling carts, cages, racks, front-end-merchandising fixtures and displays, point-of-purchase fixtures, dairy automation equipment and newspaper automation equipment.
