Inside West Pak Avocado's Ultra-Modern 115,000 Square-Foot Packing Facility Facility at Sky Canyon, California



SKY CANYON, CA - At West Pak Avocado, after years of analysis, research and forward-thinking investment, we’ve redesigned the way we do Avocados. We proudly invite you to take a look behind the scenes at our ultra-modern, 115,000 square-foot-facility in Murrieta, CA.

Our capabilities now include advanced sorting technologies and premier pack quality, with the latest innovations in harvesting, packing, value add, ripening, and cold storage.

After thorough research of available technologies in produce commodities and industry packaging, West Pak has developed new ways to efficiently pack all case styles of avocados with automated size, color, and blemish and shape-sorting capabilities. In fact, West Pak is the only California avocado packing facility to offer these advanced packing capabilities.

The Produce Traceability Initiative (better known as PTI) is the core of our data transactional process. Through PTI’s sound protocols, all West Pak product-handling parties are captured and recorded to provide accurate, timely, and traceable records regarding dates, bin pickup location, grower, harvesting crew, barcodes, and bin characteristics.

As a part of our re-engineering and expansion, we’ve invested in state-of-the-industry bagging capabilities, offering an assortment of packaging configurations and bagging, delivery and output technologies.

The word is out; the days of “banana room” ripening are over. Significant sales increases require the right kind of equipment to produce consistent “JustRipe!” avocados. Through the development and implementation of consistently managed, state-of-the-art ripening techniques we’ve increased ripening capabilities by 100%.

Premium product deserves premier cold chain management. At West Pak, we increase shelf-life and reduce customer shrink by providing a seamless end-to-end process of technology-driven cold chain management.

Here at West Pak we are doing more.
