Sorma USA, part of the Sorma Group in Italy, is based in Visalia, CA, one of the most prominent agricultural regions in the world.
Established in the 1970’s, Sorma quickly became one of the world’s largest suppliers of “Turn Key” packaging and palletizing lines for the fresh produce industries. Because of its European roots, where high labor costs forced the industry to seek out automated technologies, Sorma was driven to be a key dynamic leader in the fruit and vegetable scene. Some of Sorma’s most renowned machines were designed in this era, including box palletizers, bin dumpers, and check weighers.
In the 1980’s, Sorma realized the key to industry innovation was in automated packaging, which led to their first line of weighing and packaging machines.
In the 1990’s, Sorma expanded in two directions: (1) packaging materials, with the establishment of Netpack; and (2) the global growth and establishment of several subsidiary companies – one of them being the North American sector, Sorma USA. Today, these 10+ globally established businesses make up Sorma Group, creating a full line of innovative, high speed packaging machines.
The collective 40 years has given Sorma USA a strong presence in the North American market with a base of customers all over the continent! From carrots to onions, citrus to avocados and more, Sorma USA has the machinery and materials your business needs. Our warehouse is not only full of experienced and knowledgeable staff, but a Production Team and printing press that runs daily to produce high quality film for your packaging needs.
