Food & Beverage

Since almost any crop can be grown in California, the food industry is as diverse in California as anywhere in the world. Fruits to nuts, corn to sugar beets, are all grown and processed in our state. California is far and away the world's largest producer of processed tomatoes, accounting for nearly half of the world's total production.

	Innomag manufactures sealless, non-metallic, magnetically driven pumps. Their innovative TB-mag series revolutionized the non-metallic, mag-drive pumping industry as the first fully thrust-balanced pump with the ability to handle solids.
