Fullerton's manufacturing base today includes precision aerospace and defense production. That precision culture gives the region's food and beverage producers a foundation for packaging automation too. A defense and aerospace manufacturer still employs roughly 1,200 people in the city, on ground once occupied by a 293-acre aerospace campus that ran there from the 1940s until 2001-2004. A major grocery retailer also runs distribution operations near the Fullerton-Anaheim border, moving packaged food and household goods through the region at scale. That combination of precision manufacturing and food distribution sits on top of an older agricultural and food-processing history.

Fullerton once had more orange groves than any other municipality in the United States, growing walnuts and avocados alongside the citrus. From the mid-1940s through the late 1990s the city was also home to canneries and paper-products manufacturers running alongside its aerospace plants, a direct historical tie to food packaging. If you run a food or beverage line out of Fullerton today, that progression, citrus groves to canneries to precision manufacturing, is the industrial base your packaging automation needs to match. PLAN IT's Mars Series vertical form fill seal machines handle bagged and pouched foods at production speed, and automatic case packers move filled product from the line into shippable cases without manual handling. Fullerton's canneries closed decades ago, but the job hasn't: get product into a bag or pouch, seal it, and get it into a case ready to ship. PLAN IT keeps those machines in stock for Fullerton-area food and beverage plants and services the changeovers on-site.
