Optimum Sorting has announced the opening of a new facility in Sacramento, California.<\/p>\n
According to the Belgian\u2011Dutch company, the strategic expansion follows an \u201dexceptionally strong\u201d year in 2025 where it\u00a0achieved its highest growth to date, with revenues increasing to nearly \u20ac40mn.<\/p>\n
\u201dThis strong performance clearly highlighted the need to scale capacity across several locations,\u201d the group stated.<\/p>\n
After several years of operations in Turlock, Central California, Optimum Sorting relocated to a larger facility in Sacramento on 1 June.<\/p>\n
The new site is approximately 1.5 times the size of its previous location and was selected for its accessibility and ability to enhance the overall customer experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new facility will serve as a key demo centre where customers can test their own products on Optimum Sorting\u2019s sorting machines,\u201d explained\u00a0Steve Raskin, CSO and co\u2011founder of Optimum Sorting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile the primary focus is on nut applications, the demo centre is fully equipped to support testing with a wide range of products, including vegetables, fruit and confectionery.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe demo centre will house two of Optimum Sorting\u2019s core machines: the Novus belt sorter and the Ventus free\u2011fall sorter,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cEquipped with advanced camera and laser technologies, these systems deliver high sorting accuracy, maximising the value of each harvest.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor customers, this results in higher yields and reduced food waste,\u201d Raskin outlined.<\/p>\n
California has long been a key market for the company, supported by the state\u2019s nut industry, where it is a global leader in the production of almonds, pistachios and walnuts \u2013 all key applications for the Ventus sorter.<\/p>\n
Ventus technology is designed to detect a broad range of defects and contaminants, including discolouration, shape and size deviations, stones, glass, foreign materials and even aflatoxin\u2011affected nuts.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the years, we have built a strong customer base in California,\u201d Raskin continued. \u201cToday, more than 20 processors across the state operate Novus or Ventus machines, often with multiple units per site.<\/p>\n
\u201dThis clearly demonstrates the value our technology delivers in processing nuts, vegetables and fresh and dried fruit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese successful installations form a strong foundation for continued growth in this key region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Optimum Sorting has been active in the US market since its formation nearly a decade ago, it noted.<\/p>\n
The company\u2019s US headquarters in Denver has supported customers and partners across North America since 2018, while a permanent demo centre was opened several years later in the Central Valley of California.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur recent growth confirms that we are on the right track,\u201d Raskin pointed out.<\/p>\n
\u201dBut for us, expansion is not simply about getting bigger. It is about creating an environment where we can work closely with customers to build better processes, achieve higher yields and deliver better products.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe relocation to our new facility in Sacramento supports that vision,\u201d he confirmed. \u201dIt gives us the space to continue innovating and to support our customers more intensively.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is precisely why California remains such an important region for us: it is where technology, ambition and industry expertise come together, and where Optimum Sorting can truly make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Optimum Sorting has announced the opening of a new facility in Sacramento, California.
