The Santa Clara Valley Canning Company was a little-known canner located at Eighth and Taylor in San Jose, organized in 1920.  Gaspare and Anthony Greco were the principals; they'd previously run the [[Alba Canning Company]]<ref>[http://www.mariposaresearch.net/santaclararesearch/SCBIOS/ggreco.html Gaspare Greco] in Eugene T. Sawyers, "History of Santa Clara County,California", Historic Record Co. , 1922. page 1603</ref>.  (Another source claims that Philip and Nicholas Barbaccia founded the company<ref>Frederick W. Marrazzo, [http://books.google.com/books?id=I7xarYW9BGcC&pg=PA47&lpg=PA47&dq=%22Santa+Clara+Valley+Canning+Company%22&source=bl&ots=t1J8yc8cRw&sig=1SvdSQxf-MgmHcSe3sswqphWv7Y&hl=en&sa=X&ei=VTZnUof9Ko_viQLsmIGYAw&ved=0CFUQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=%22Santa%20Clara%20Valley%20Canning%20Company%22&f=false Italians in the Santa Clara Valley], Arcadia Publishing, 20xx, p. 47</ref>.)  The plant was described as a "three line fruit cannery at Eighth and Taylor"<Ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=2S0dAQAAMAAJ&lpg=RA5-PA60&ots=9QJVdDDBGG&dq=%22Santa%20Clara%20Valley%20Canning%20Company%22&pg=RA5-PA60#v=onepage&q=%22Santa%20Clara%20Valley%20Canning%20Company%22&f=false Northern California Canneries], in Western Canner and Packer, October 1922.</ref>.

A few records do exist for their demise.  The company lost a judgement against [[Pacific Shingle and Box]] in 1921 for $2300<ref>[http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1982&dat=19210719&id=chIyAAAAIBAJ&sjid=YeQFAAAAIBAJ&pg=2106,867284 July 19, 1921 San Jose Evening News</ref>.  As a result of the judgement, the Santa Clara County Sherriff intended to sell lots the company owned in the Divine's Survey #2 subdivision, which included land around the [[California Packing Corporation]]'s plant near North 7th Street  The company must have declared bankruptcy soon after, for bankruptcy trustees later declared on June 9, 1922 they'd be selling the cannery<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=h6rmAAAAMAAJ&lpg=RA4-PA23&ots=Nh6uRdbGmM&dq=%22Santa%20Clara%20Valley%20Canning%20Company%22&pg=RA4-PA23#v=onepage&q=%22Santa%20Clara%20Valley%20Canning%20Company%22&f=false June 1922 Canning Age]</ref>.
