Monta Vista Packing Company was a Cupertino-based canner and dried fruit packer in the early 1920's.
The company's plant was put out to bid in April 1922, with engineer W. W. Breite of the Clunie Building of San Francisco specifying a one story cannery made of frame and corrugated iron with an estimated budget of $45,000[1].
The company started packing that year, with the intention of packing cherries and apricots but also willing to pack other fruits and jam as well, and planned to employ 250 people[2][3].
Fruit was distributed by Warmington Duff of Chicago, Toledo, and San Francisco[4].
The company also appears as a possible asbestos exposure site in asbestos lawsuit solicitations.
