About Us
Decades of expertise,
a fresh approach to value.
Montane Packaging was established in 2020 in American Fork, Utah — built on a simple belief: world-class packaging machinery shouldn’t carry a world-class price tag.
Our Experience
Marcel Willden, Founder
Marcel brings over 35 years of experience in VFFS machinery design and engineering. He was a principal founder of Matrix Packaging Machinery in 1988, helping grow it into an industry leader before its 2011 sale, and remained there until 2019. Montane is the culmination of that experience — machines engineered by someone who has spent a career perfecting them.

The people behind the machines
Every Montane machine is designed, built, and tested by a hands-on team that takes pride in its craft — and has some fun along the way.
