History

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.
