CALIFORNIA FLAVOR LABS (CFL) was founded in 1964 by its President, Fred Farago, to supply quality flavors to discerning food and beverage manufacturers in Southern California. In response to the demand for quality fruit based products CFL expanded into processing of fruits available in Central and Southern California.

AFP (AMERICAN FRUIT PROCESSORS), a division of AMERICAN FRUITS & FLAVORS, was created in 1972 to support the needs of the rapidly changing food and beverage industry worldwide. AFP has made its mark in the industry by processing the finest fruit juices, concentrates and producing blends of hundreds of unique fruit and flavor combinations.

VITA JUICE CORP. (VJC), Los Angeles, was established in 1974 to meet the market demand for single strength fruit juices. As the quality of fruit concentrates improved the demand for single strength juices declined.

WASHINGTON STATE JUICE (WSJ), Yakima, Washington, formerly known as SPEAS FARM was purchased from PILLSBURY in 1981 to process an abundance of fruit available in the Northwest. This facility was sold to NAKANO VINEGAR, USA in 1992.
