Corporate Headquarters

Del Monte Foods corporate headquarters have always been in San Francisco. In fact, the city itself could well be considered a living history museum of former company locations. The popular Cannery complex of shops near Fisherman's Wharf was once a Del Monte Foods fruit processing plant. The square-rigged Balclutha sailing vessel berthed at the Maritime Museum was part of Del Monte Foods "Star Fleet" when the Company was in the seafood business.

In 2000, Del Monte Foods moved its corporate staff out of a high rise and into the newly renovated 85-year-old Southern Pacific building at the foot of Market Street, just steps away from the recently refurbished Ferry Building Marketplace. Appropriately renamed "The Landmark," the new offices sit diagonally across the street from Del Monte Foods very first headquarters location and within earshot of cable car bells.

Corporate Service Center

Del Monte Foods recently relocated its Pittsburgh-based employees to Del Monte Center — a new, six story, 270,000 square foot office building located on Pittsburgh's North Shore. Del Monte leases approximately 180,000 square feet of the office space. The new building also includes approximately 40,000 square feet of retail space on the first floor.

Approximately 420 employees work at Del Monte Center. The following departments are housed at this location: Supply Chain, Finance, Human Resources, Information Technology, R&D and Quality Systems and Sales East.

Processing Plant

Originally constructed by the Kingsburg Growers Association in 1915, the Kingsburg plant has been a fixture in the Central Valley of California for over 80 years. The 14.9 acre facility, located within the city limits of Kingsburg, was purchased by Del Monte in 1922.

Currently, Kingsburg processes Zucchini with Italian Style Tomato Sauce and Yellow Cling Peaches. Zucchini is grown in close proximity to the plant and processed in early June. The Kingsburg Yellow Cling Peach harvest, the earliest in the state, usually begins in early June and lasts for about 85 days. Kingsburg employs 70 full time salaried and hourly employees, and swells to over 1,200 employees in the summer when Yellow Cling Peach production reaches its peak. Kingsburg is well known for its long-term employees, including several with over 50 years of service and also its long-term peach growers that include second and third generations.

Distribution Center

The Western states distribution center located in Lathrop, California, opened in June 2004 as a result of the consolidation of the Stockton and Modesto (cool storage) facilities. The center is located in close proximity to California production facilities, Interstates 99 and 5 and inbound/outbound ports serving the major population base of the Bay Area and Northwest states.

Retail business includes trade rail and truck service to California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Utah, Montana, Idaho, Alaska and Hawaii combined with export trade and transfer sea van service to the Pacific Rim. Foodservice business includes transfer rail and truck service to the entire US along with export trade and transfer sea van service to the Pacific.

Processing Plant

The Modesto facility has been in operation since 1968. Over the years, there have been various modifications to the physical structure as well as its operations. During the first thirty years of operations, the primary product was tomatoes. After the 1998 tomato processing season, Modesto Plant #1 underwent a major conversion into Del Monte's largest fruit processing operation. During this time, employment levels rose dramatically to the current level of 514 year-round employee (approximately 50 salaried and 464 hourly employees), and approximately 1500 seasonal employees. The current plant configuration consists of 84 acres, approximately 490,000 square feet of production area, approximately 235,000 square feet of on-site warehousing, and approximately 714,000 square feet of off-site warehousing.

The Modesto plant is located in Stanislaus County, which is most favorable to canning operations and food processing firms, and produces over 27 million cases of Apricots, Fruit Cocktail, Yellow Cling Peaches, Yellow Freestone Peaches, Pears, Orchard Select^® processed fruits, Metal Cups as well as Plastic Fruit Cups.
