Western Fumigation is the largest fumigator of perishables in the U.S., and a vital link in the "farm to table" chain. We know the quality of your fresh produce is of the greatest importance to you.
Since 1979, we’ve worked with US government agencies to establish procedures, set standards and develop patented equipment for fumigating fruit and vegetables arriving at East Coast ports from all over the world. We fully comply with the latest Department of Homeland Security regulations. We even created a specialized, HACCP-based food safety certification program for fruit-handling port terminals.
When you choose Western, you can be sure your fumigator is reliable, fully certified and food-safety trained by the American Food Safety Institute. We also maintain extensive documentation – a critical component of any successful food safety and security program.
The Chilean grape export industry has set the standard for perishables in export programs around the world. Western pioneered the fumigation program for the vast quantities entering the United States. Since 1979, volumes have increased exponentially, and Western has designed creative, innovative methods to manage these volumes efficiently and effectively… never losing sight of product quality.
We specialize in treating commodities of all kinds… such as chestnuts from Italy, rattan baskets from the Philippines, brassware from India, cocoa beans from the Ivory Coast, and asparagus from Peru.
