Moline Machinery Revenue and Competitors

The Moline Company was founded in 1945 by Harry Moline upon receipt of the patent for the hexagonal rotary donut cutter. Expansion of the product line into sheeting and dough processing systems for industrial and commercial use carried the business to 1972 when it was acquired by the Pillsbury Company. Integration into this major corporation broadened Moline’s international presence and added the Industrial Frying Line which is manufactured by Moline to this day. In 1991, the company became privately held again and operates as Moline Machinery LLC. In 1995 Moline purchased the industrial product line from Donut Corporation of America (DCA) increasing market share in the industrial donut equipment business. Moline continues to be the only turnkey supplier of high volume yeast raised donut systems in North America. Moline continues to provide custom engineered solutions to the world's largest food companies. Specialties include high volume dough forming, sheeting, proofing, and frying systems that operate in excess of 25,000 pounds of dough per hour. From donuts to tortillas, Moline is your North American partner. In March 2012, Moline opened its new Customer Innovation Center in Duluth, MN. This facility features two multi-purpose sheeting/laminating systems, belt proofer, sweet goods proofer, donut fryer, and tunnel oven.
