Oxnard ships up to 10 million pint baskets of strawberries a day during its April-through-June peak harvest, volume that keeps local packaging equipment running at full tilt. According to the USDA, the city supplies roughly one-third of California's entire annual strawberry volume, making it the state's largest strawberry-producing region. Oxnard's identity as an agricultural processing hub goes back to its founding in 1898, when Henry T. Oxnard built a sugar-beet processing factory on the plain inland from Port Hueneme, and the town grew up around that plant. Agriculture still ranks among the top contributors to Oxnard's economy today, and the city marks each harvest with its annual strawberry festival.

Harvest season doesn't slow down for install schedules. The line still has to keep moving. Our RotoBagger premade-pouch machines handle stand-up pouch and bag formats for fresh strawberries and other produce, filling and sealing at the pace a ten-million-basket day demands. If you're shipping that many baskets a day, a slow changeover is the difference between hitting the truck and missing it. For the powder and granular side of Oxnard's food-processing base, our EliteFill auger and powder fillers dose and fill dry ingredients with the accuracy high-volume packing lines need, on seasonal produce runs and year-round dry-goods lines alike. Ten million baskets a day doesn't leave room for a slow install. No branch office sits in Oxnard, but we keep RotoBagger premade-pouch machines and EliteFill auger fillers in stock across California, backed by consultative service and support.
