The National Raisin Company, based in Fowler, CA, is one of the largest independent raisin processors in the industry. Its 60-acre, state-of-the-art facility in the heart of the fertile San Joaquin Valley processes over 100 million pounds of raisins annually. Brothers Ernest, Krikor and Kenneth Bedrosian founded the company in 1969 with a mission to achieve the highest possible quality standards.
