Chino Valley was an agricultural powerhouse from the 1890s through the mid-20th century, processing crops at a scale that shaped the region's economy for decades in what is now a city of 85,595 people. Sugar beets were a major early-1900s crop, processed at a local beet-sugar factory documented as far back as 1906. Corn grown in the valley was marketed as 'Chino corn' up and down the Pacific coast, alongside peaches, walnuts, tomatoes, and strawberries, and the city's official crest still carries an overflowing cornucopia in tribute to that history. Processing produce and dairy at volume made packaging automation a natural fit for this valley long before the phrase existed: a local creamery was already operating in the area by 1900, and dairy farming remains prevalent in the Chino and Ontario area today, part of what was historically Southern California's dairy belt.

Chino corn once traveled the length of the Pacific coast under that name, evidence of a valley that has processed and shipped product at scale for more than a century. The valley still runs on volume. For the dairy processors, produce packers, and powder or granular product manufacturers operating near Chino, we supply EliteFill auger and powder filling equipment for dairy powders and dry ingredients and EcoBagger premade-pouch bagging machines for retail-ready packs. Our locations page for California and our powder and granular industry resources outline the filling and bagging equipment available to processors working in the Inland Empire, and our full solutions lineup covers the auger filling and pouch bagging machines this valley's high-volume agricultural processing depends on.
