Public Auction of Former Del Monte Processing Plant

Rabin Worldwide Announces Public Auction of Former Del Monte Processing Plant in Hanford, California

Online Auction Scheduled for December 9–11, 2025

San Francisco, CA — Rabin Worldwide, a global leader in industrial asset recovery and auction services, will conduct a major public auction for the former Del Monte processing plant located near Hanford, California. The online auction will take place over three days—December 9, 10, and 11, 2025—and will feature the full offering of equipment and infrastructure remaining at the long-standing tomato and vegetable processing site.

The Hanford facility, a historic cornerstone of California’s food processing sector, operated for decades as a significant producer within Del Monte Foods’ national supply chain. After its closure, the property was acquired with the intent to return the site to active industrial use, opening the door for responsible disposition of the sizable assets still on-site.

Rabin Worldwide will bring to market a wide range of equipment suitable for food, beverage, agricultural, and large-scale industrial operators. The multi-day online auction is expected to attract buyers from across the United States and internationally, reflecting the facility’s strategic importance and the continued demand for quality processing and packaging machinery.

Auction Highlights Include:

• Large-scale fruit and vegetable processing equipment
• Canning, packaging, and material-handling systems
• Industrial refrigeration, boilers, utilities, and plant support equipment
• Facility infrastructure and MRO assets
• Additional specialty machinery accumulated over decades of operation

“This site has played an important role in California’s agricultural economy, and many of the assets available still hold strong value for producers and processors,” said Richard Reese, President at Rabin Worldwide. “We’re pleased to represent this facility and make these assets available to tomato processing operators looking to expand or modernize their capabilities.”
