About the Organization
Founded in 1909 in Salida, California, Flory Industries has evolved from a family-run dairy and custom harvesting business into a global leader in agricultural machinery. With deep roots in innovation, Flory built its first bean harvester in the 1930s and introduced industry-changing nut sweepers in the 1970s. Today, Flory specializes in manufacturing on-ground and off-ground harvesting equipment for almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and other nut and stone fruit crops, along with flail mowers and vineyard tools.
