Seneca Foods Corporation

		2000 1990 1980 1970 1960 1950 1950's The decade of the 1950’s was marked with slow but steady expansion and long hours as we grew internally and through acquisitions. In the 1950’s, we contracted with Minute Maid to co–pack the first frozen grape juice in the nation. Acquisitions included Hudson Valley Pure Food Co., Hilton Fruit Co–op, North Wayne Co–op and Westfield Maid Co–op, all located in New York State. We then added apple processing, fountain fruits and syrups, and maraschino cherries to our product line. Development of private label, bulk, industrial and co–pack segments of our business took place during this time. Fruit processing remained our primary focus for the next several decades.
