Inglewood's most striking food-manufacturing data point is a single plant: a USDA-inspected meat, poultry, and plant-based food manufacturer employing 200 to 500 people at a Beach Avenue facility, producing burgers, bowls, burritos, bites, and meatballs for branded and private-label customers across the country. One plant, three product lines. Patties run on one line, wrapped burritos on another, and portioned bites on a third, a packaging equipment challenge we solve every day, and it points to a manufacturing base running deeper than most people assume for a city known mostly for its stadiums and arenas. A local business directory lists 194 manufacturing companies operating in Inglewood today, a base broad enough to include food producers well beyond that one plant.
Inglewood also has a lighter claim to food history: California's first soft-serve ice cream chain was founded here in 1946, decades before the meat and plant-based plant that anchors the city's manufacturing base today. Our equipment runs in plants like it up and down the California coast, even without an office of ours in Inglewood itself. You know which line runs the patties and which runs the burritos; we know how to flow-wrap one and pouch-pack the other without slowing either down. Pack Series flow wrappers seal burger and patty formats at speed. EcoBagger and RotoBagger premade-pouch machines handle burritos and bowls that need a stand-up or pillow pouch, and automatic case packers box the patties, burritos, and bites into shipping cases as fast as the three lines produce them. Our California location page and food and beverage industry page map the region, a case study on scaling food production shows how a comparable multi-line plant added automation, the VFFS machine category and automatic case packer lineup break down the machines themselves, and our solutions page rounds out the catalog for producers running patty, burrito, and bite lines like Inglewood's plant.
