Surrey has legally protected about 2,465 hectares of farmland from development, land that today employs around 3,300 people in agriculture and traces back to early settlers who farmed, fished, and harvested oysters along the same ground. The city's own economic strategy now pushes to grow food-processing agribusiness locally, closing the loop from farmland to finished, packaged product instead of shipping raw crops elsewhere for processing. Fresh produce won't wait. That shift is a packaging automation opportunity as much as an agricultural one: berries, vegetables, and other regional produce need to move through weighing, bagging, and case-packing equipment fast enough to stay fresh. Our Mars Series vertical form fill seal baggers handle that kind of fast-turnaround produce packaging, and EliteWeigh multihead weighers portion fruit and vegetables by weight before they reach the bag.
Agriculture is only part of Surrey's industrial base. The city ranks among the largest industrial centres in British Columbia, with a growing footprint in high-technology, clean-energy, and advanced manufacturing alongside its farm sector, and that mix is exactly where a food or beverage producer scaling up runs into packaging bottlenecks first. A grower or processor moving from farmers-market volume to retail distribution typically outgrows manual filling and hand-sealing long before it outgrows its physical space. You know the harvest; we know the line that bags and cases it before it turns. If your operation is making that jump, we supply Mars Series VFFS baggers sized for produce, berries, and prepared foods, along with automatic case packers for shipping to grocery and retail accounts across the Lower Mainland and beyond. We don't have an office in Surrey. You still get full support here, from equipment selection through installation and service, handled directly by our team.
