Agriculture runs the Visalia economy, anchored by grapes, olives, cotton, citrus, and nursery products, along with livestock, at the center of California's Central Valley. Tulare County, where Visalia is the seat, ranks among the top agricultural- and dairy-producing counties in the entire United States, giving the area a packing tradition that goes back generations. Distribution and light manufacturing, especially electronics and paper products, are now the fastest-growing part of the local employer base, adding a second layer of production activity to the fields around the city. The harvest doesn't wait, and neither can the packaging automation built to keep up with it.

For growers and processors moving fruit, produce, and packaged food out of the valley, packaging automation is often the difference between a shipment that ships clean and one that doesn't. You grow it and pick it on a schedule the weather sets, not one we control. Our Mars Series VFFS machines form, fill, and seal bags at the speed a harvest season demands, and our automatic case packers move that output into shipping cases without adding a second bottleneck downstream. Both are built to handle the volume swings a growing season brings, rather than only steady factory runs. We supply and integrate the machines, with units in stock for operations that need a line running before the next harvest starts. Our solutions team plans each line around the calendar Tulare County actually runs on, not a generic packing schedule.
