Welcome To Fowler Packing Company . . .
Fowler Packing Company was
established in 1950 by Sam Parnagian, and through the years has
grown and expanded under the active management of Sam’s four sons
and other family members. Today, Fowler Packing is one of the
largest shippers in the fresh produce business, handling over 7
million boxes of stone fruit and table grapes, and 15 million boxes
of citrus per year. More than two-thirds of the fruit is owned and
farmed by the Parnagian Family, with the balance coming from
experienced and dedicated growers closely associated with the
business. Sam Parnagian saw a vision of opportunity in the produce
business and possessed all the attributes necessary to implement his
goals. His desire and reputation for shipping top-quality fruit and
servicing his customers enabled the company to grow from handling a
single grower’s fruit, to representing a number of different
growers. Sam was always trying to find ways to deliver a better
product and pioneered several major advances in western fruit
packing: Hydrocooling, innovative packaging, and shipping “tree
ripe” fruit.
