Key Technology, WECO, PPM Technologies, and Multiscan—all part of Duravant’s Food Sorting and Handling Solutions group—have announced the formation of the new Northern California Nut Processing Group, a specialized team providing equipment, applications expertise, and service support to the region's nut industry.

The new group brings together four Duravant operating companies to deliver a comprehensive portfolio of optical sorters, vibratory conveyers, graders, and other processing solutions for walnuts, almonds, and pistachios, as well as for dried fruits. Building on the foundation of WECO's sales and service network, the group will help nut customers maximize operating efficiencies while ensuring product quality and increasing yield.

The Northern California Nut Processing Group offers a broad suite of equipment solutions that address every stage of nut processing, from raw receiving to final packaging. This includes advanced WECO and Multiscan in-shell sorting systems, Key Technology shelled nut sorting and packaging distribution systems, and PPM Technologies seasoning and thermal processing equipment.

Central to the new group's approach is an expert team of sales professionals and service technicians based in California. This local presence ensures rapid response times and personalized support.

The group's capabilities are being showcased at its Customer Experience Center in Sacramento, California. The facility offers equipment demonstrations and application testing, allowing customers to experience the full range of processing solutions firsthand. The center also serves as a hub for customer employee training, aftersales service, and technical support. Additionally, the group maintains a nearby comprehensive parts support center in Woodland, California to further enhance responsiveness and minimize downtime.
