A major almond-growers' cooperative is still headquartered in Sacramento, on a food-processing legacy that goes back to the valley's earliest fruit orchards. Almonds, packaged produce, and shelf-stable food products move off Sacramento-area packaging lines at serious volume today. That cooperative isn't alone. Sacramento's economy has included large-scale food processing since those first orchards started the broader Sacramento Valley agriculture industry, and the region also supports some of its longest-running farmers markets, a smaller-scale but steady reminder of how central fresh and packaged food remains to the local economy. In recent years Sacramento has added healthcare, manufacturing, and technology jobs, but food processing remains a core, visible part of what the city makes.

Almond and produce volume at that scale calls for both ends of a fill-and-case line: Mars Series VFFS baggers for granular and small-piece products like nuts, dried fruit, and snack mixes, paired with automatic case packers that carton finished bags without adding manual labor to the line. One case study on our site covers a regional food producer that scaled its packaging line to handle growing order volume, a pattern we see often in this valley. Sacramento producers get full sourcing, installation, and service support even though we keep no location in the city itself. Our California location page rounds out our reach across the rest of the state, our food and beverage industry page and VFFS and case-packer category pages cover machine specifications, and our solutions page walks through how we scope a project end to end.
