The economic situation of the time requires the two young brothers to innovate new solutions to solve old problems. 1935 The brothers form a second partnership - Wenger Mixer Company - and begin the manufacture of mixers and other basic feed milling machinery. The first mixers were designed to mix molasses and other liquid ingredients with whole grains. 1948 Wenger builds its first extruder, a novel machine designed to blend molasses with dry feedstuffs and compress it into pellets. 1954 Wenger fills its first foreign order - a pelleting mill for installation in Venezuela. 1958 LaVon Wenger, son of Louis, patents the first commercial cooking extruder for the production of expanded pet food. 1965 Wenger builds a research plant in which to demonstrate its equipment and develop new processes.
