Happy National Avocado Day!
Month: July 2025
There are a lot of ways to enjoy and avocado. We are partial to guacamole, but we know people who enjoy them cut into salads, mashed on toast, or even in a smoothie. Just as there are lots of ways to eat avocados, there are plenty of ways to get avocados from their orchards to your table. Farmers and fresh produce folks will tell you that getting those avocados to you safely, with no damage and with superior taste is no easy feat. That’s why so many avocado people turn to us for help. At Exeter Engineering, we make the equipment that makes your guacamole (or avocado toast, or smoothie, etc.) possible. That’s why we are happy to celebrate National Avocado Day and thank our friends and customers for all of their hard work. Cheers to them!
There's a reason Exeter is in our name too
Month: July 2025
Founded in 1978 in small-town Exeter, California, we’ve been part of our community for nearly 50 years. We’ve built some of the best optical and AI-powered grading systems on the market, shipping them worldwide—but California’s Central Valley is still home. We recently celebrated at Valley Strong Ballpark for Exeter Engineering Night at the Visalia Rawhide™. Baseball, hotdogs, and good friends—it was the perfect reminder of our community’s strength, which mirrors our company’s vitality. We like to say that there’s a reason “Engineering” is in our name, but “Exeter” is there too. Together, they capture who we are and what we do.
Got a fresh-produce project that needs help? We’d love to have you join our community of friends and customers. Until then, hope you’re having a great summer.
Happy Birthday America
