Fresno's identity as a food-shipping hub dates to 1872, when a rail station went up near a large wheat farm on the land that became the city itself. Fresno is now the largest city in California's Central Valley, and the rural cities and unincorporated areas around it stay tied to large-scale agricultural production and food processing: poultry producers, meat processors, and regional foodservice packers among them. Packaging automation is part of how that volume moves today. Poultry, sausage, and packaged food ingredients still leave the Fresno area by the truckload, much of it on VFFS-bagged and case-packed lines, and processors here keep investing in that equipment to hold the pace this part of the valley has always shipped at.
Both machine types are built for large-scale poultry and sausage volume: Mars Series VFFS baggers sized for poultry portions, sausage links, and granular or powdered ingredients, plus automatic case packers that carton finished bags for palletized shipping. You need that volume bagged and cased without slowing the line. We build for exactly that, with both machine types in-stock for plants that cannot wait out a long custom-build lead time. A Fresno plant doesn't need a nearby office to get a fast quote, installation, and ongoing service from us. Details on machine specs live on our VFFS and case-packer category pages, our food and beverage industry page rounds out the industry fit, and our California location page covers what we serve elsewhere in the state. Our solutions page explains how we scope and integrate a line into an existing plant.
