Our Story

Four decades. Four families. One standard.

When a group of California tomato farmers founded Ingomar in 1983, they set out to do something no one had done before — build a processor owned by the very growers who tend the fields. It made us the first strictly industrial tomato processor in the state, and it changed what "quality" could mean.

Today those roots run deeper than ever. Our grower-partners still personally oversee the cultivation of the majority of the tomatoes we process, from seed selection to the moment the fruit reaches our two Los Banos facilities. That unbroken line of accountability — field to jar — is why chefs, canneries, and food brands around the world trust the Ingomar name.

Field to Jar

How the harvest becomes something remarkable.

During tomato season our field, production, and QA teams work around the clock — because a great tomato has a very short window to become a great product.

Grown by owners

Grower-partners cultivate the majority of our fruit on surrounding farms, hand-selecting varieties for paste and dice.

Harvested at peak

Vine-ripened tomatoes move from field to facility fast, preserving color, sugar, and flavor at their height.

Processed with care

State-of-the-art evaporation and a dedicated diced flume protect texture and taste at every step.

Checked & packed

QA monitors color, flavor, and texture throughout, then we pack aseptically to your exact custom specification.

Sustainability

Farming like the next 40 years depend on it.

Since 2010, sustainability has been engineered into how we operate — from the sun that powers our plant to the water we pull back out of the tomato itself. It's not a marketing line; it's how a grower-owned company protects the land it farms.
