No matter what you eat, drink, or use, it is made somewhere in the world. Unless you made it yourself, odds are that the products you use in everyday life have been made in points far distant. It may even have come from a piece of Riverside California real estate. Quite a few products are made in this medium sized American city, shipped out with the help of a ratchet tie down and large industrial vehicles. Let's take a look at a few of those products.
Many of the fruit juices and real fruit products made in America are the products of California, and Riverside is the main center for this activity. In fact, the city of Riverside was built on the back of the citrus industry. Power strap feeders work day and night boxing up the various juices, candies, whole fruits (lemons, limes, and oranges) which come out of Riverside processing plants.
Edible citrus products are not the only shipped goods out of this industry from Riverside. The University located in the city includes a lab which is focused on experimentation with citrus fruit and citrus growing practices. Basket strainers help researchers develop ever hardier species of tree, as well as better preservatives for the various products.
A last note on the agricultural field is the salinity laboratory located in the same university. Again, power distribution blocks are used to provide the juice needed for the work which goes on in this area. The best products for growing good citrus are analyzed here and the knowledge made available to the rest of the world, through publications or through packaging.
If you own a motorhome, RV, or camper made by Fleetwood, chances are it was assembled at least in part in the city of Riverside. Fleetwood has several plants operating in the city, which turn raw goods into motorhome parts and also assemble those parts into the vessels in which so many enjoy their vacation hours.
Just like any other city or town, Riverside includes its share of local entrepreneurs who use their skills to make a living producing high quality, custom goods. Several businesses have used woodworking machinery which they use to make fine pieces of furniture either by order or to sell in their small shops.
A lot of people are surprised when they realize the vast number of products made in Riverside. Check your labels to see what products have made their way from our city to yours!
