4. 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. Our extensive relationships with domestic and international growers – combined with our mastery of transportation logistics, ripening technology and marketing expertise – translate into year-round availability of quality produce. And our status as a financially strong, privately-owned company allows us to continue our sole focus on serving our customers.

Display avocados next to tomatoes, onions and limes.
Adhering to these three basic principles will drive avocado sales.

Food Safety is a part of each and every production meeting, where management discusses food safety issues and performs and incorporates our ongoing Food Safety Training Program.  Food Safety is an integral part of the overall objective of West Pak and management works hard to ensure that all employees understand and successfully work within a food safe environment.

19. TRACE RECALL PROGRAM
A vital part of the Food Safety Program is our Trace Recall Program. West Pak has developed a fully informational and inclusive system which enables us to track fruit from the grower to the shipper, and ultimately, to the receiver. In the event of a contamination issue in the marketplace, West Pak has the ability to recall and quickly remove any questionable fruit from our customers' shelves through our Recall Program.  The program consists of comprehensive and well-defined steps we have instituted in order to ensure a safe, efficient and thorough removal of the potentially contaminated fruit on all levels.  In addition, West Pak runs a mock trace recall event each year where the entire company is involved on how to properly handle a contamination event and to ensure readiness and professionalism if such an event should occur.
