HISTORY• Founded in 1982 as a grower and shipper of California avocados, West Pak began

operations from a small packing house in Fallbrook – the heart of the state’s avocado growing region. Our disciplined approach to delivering quality produce and our ability to forge strong partnerships with regional growers earned us a solid reputation in the industry. In 1992, we opened a new, state-of-the-art, 28,000 square foot packing facility in Temecula, California to service an expanding customer base throughout North America and Asia. In 1996, we formed our Mexican subsidiary – Grupo West Pak de Mexico – and opened an advanced packing facility in Uruapan, Michoacán. Today, West Pak is proud to be a major force in the avocado industry.
