Central California Canneries started off as a single cannery in Sebastopol, but expanded to become "the second largest, and quite likely the best run, canning company in California"[2] By 1907, the company had seven plants in Sacramento, Visalia, Emeryville, San Lorenzo, Yuba City, and the Moorlands. J. Hotchkiss was the president of the company. Central California Canneries was merged into California Packing Corporation in 1916.
When J. K. Armsby lost agency for the California Fruit Canners Association, they began representing Central California Canneries; in order not to lose a good market, they began buying up stock in the canner. Central noticed and cut off the takeover, but stayed on good terms with Armsby through the California Packing Corporation buyout.
