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.

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.
