PACKING HOUSE

Your Packing House Partner

Premier Citrus operates a 98,000 square foot packing house

Located in Vero Beach, Premier Citrus operates one of Florida’s newest and largest citrus packing houses. Just minutes from the Atlantic Ocean and within the storied Indian River citrus growing area, Vero is home of the world’s best grapefruit and oranges.

Using highly optimized equipment and an extremely streamlined process, Premier Citrus operates a state of the art facility inside and out. With 9 loading docks and an on-site truck drenching area, Premiers’ attention to detail begins before entering the packing house. Once inside, the speed and versatility of our machinery enables us to fully maximize our citrus production. Equipped with digital sorting technology, modifications can be quickly and accurately implemented while still maintaining a consistent, superior, citrus product grade.

We also offer our vendors two labeling options: traditional vinyl PLU labels or, now EXCLUSIVELY with Premier, Natural Light Labeling (NLL).

Premier Citrus Packers “grove to pack” control and integration of all quality processes is Global Gap certified, with excellent scoring on all annual food safety audits, including our Premier controlled farms.
