In the late 1970s, Branko Skrak was a seasoned professional in the food processing industry, when he noticed something important.

Time and time again, he listened as clients expressed a need for a viable alternative to new equipment.

Refurbishers and ‘as is’ sellers existed, but their equipment had a reputation for poor quality, high price and limited life span.

Mr. Skrak had a pioneering vision – take existing equipment, strip it down to the frame and reconstruct it to perform as if new.

It’s a process he calls rebuilding and a commitment to durable, high performance rebuilt equipment that Mr. Skrak has made since founding BRANIK Tooling & Machine Repair Inc. in 1988.

Today, that commitment has made his Company North America’s trusting quality fabricator and rebuilder of industrial equipment for the food industry.

BRANIK Tooling & Machine Repair Inc. serves a broad base of clients, ranging from specialty shops to many of the largest food processors in the North America.
