The Fogelsong family has been in the baler business for nearly 100 years. It began in 1919 with Wilfred Fogelsong at Economy Baler in Detroit and later New York. His sons followed in his footsteps—Bob launched Ann Arbor Baler Company in the 1970s, while Tom began repping for Economy Baler in Chicago in 1959.
When Economy was acquired in 1973 and shifted to a dealer model, Tom founded ENQUIP, INC. in Downers Grove, IL. He quickly expanded beyond sales, adding wire supply, service, and installation in response to customer needs. In 1979, the company was renamed BALERS INC.—a name that clearly says what we do.
Still family-run, the company is led today by Tom’s sons: Tom Jr. as President and Matt as VP of Sales. For over 40 years, we’ve served businesses big and small with reliable equipment and a commitment to integrity. From Downers Grove to Naperville, our mission remains the same: deliver quality recycling solutions with care and honesty.
We stand behind every piece of equipment we sell. Our machines are built to perform in demanding environments, and our team is always ready to assist. Whether it’s a last-minute question, routine maintenance, or an urgent repair, you can count on us to keep you running without disruption.
We believe in doing business the right way. That means honest pricing, straightforward communication, and a commitment to long-term relationships—not quick wins. When you work with Balers Inc., you're partnering with a team that genuinely cares about your success.
Time is money, and waste is opportunity. Our equipment is engineered to help you recover both. From faster cycle times to space-saving designs and simplified operation, we help you increase productivity while reducing labor, hauling costs, and downtime.
With a network of trusted partners and technicians across the U.S., we combine the scale of a national provider with the attention of a local partner.
