New celery facility

Duda Farm Fresh Foods long ago established itself as the market leader in celery production.

Now, with the upcoming grand opening of a new Oxnard, Calif., facility, the company is unveiling what it calls a "state-of-the-art" fresh-cut celery operation.

According to a media alert, Duda's partnership with Western Precooling Systems Inc. "will double the production capacity for Duda Farm Fresh Foods’ fresh-cut celery operation in California and provide new opportunities for additional lines of products and customers."

The facility is at 860 Pacific Avenue, Oxnard.

The proverbial ribbon will be cut at 2 p.m. March 27.
