National Raisin

Highly Engaged Employees

National Raisin Company was founded in 1969 by brothers Ernest, Krikor and Kenneth Bedrosian, in the heart of California's San Joaquin Valley. From its early days as a raisin growing and packing operation, the company has expanded and now offers a wide variety of dried fruits and nuts. Today, we are the largest family-owned provider of dried fruit... and nut products in California, and quite possibly the world. From the very beginning, innovation has been a key to our success. For example, National developed and introduced the poly paper tray, which revolutionized the sun-drying process by significantly reducing the incidence of mold during wet weather. Since its introduction, the poly tray has replaced virtually every other type of tray and has become the standard in the California raisin industry. More recently, our innovative spirit has led us to offer our customers a complete range of New Product Development services. In our state-of-the-art research facilities, we work with our customers to create unique blends and flavors, clever infusions and more, enabling them to keep pace with the latest food trends. All while demonstrating responsible stewardship of our land and resources, just as we have throughout the more than four decades since our founding. While we can look back with pride on a history of growth and success, we look forward just as proudly to a future of continued innovation and customer satisfaction.Read More
