Company Summary
NW growers send cherries, apples, plums & vegetables to a few large processing plants. They have little control over the price & at times the plants can't even take all. Growers have few options so produce is wasted. MAN is the only company we know of that is scaling down the systems to fit farms. We improve productivity with conveyors and automatic control with air instead of electricity. Problem solved: Recover more fruit & produce for sale.
