Company Summary
Gene M. Jessee, Inc. provides Hulling, Shelling and Processing equipment primarily to the Tree-Nut industry.
Most sales are direct to the customer, with only a few established dealers or sales representatives.
Company History
Gene M. Jessee, Inc. was founded in 1954 in Chico, California. Mr. Jessee had developed a nut cleaner for the almond industry
that utilized a column of controlled air. These machines were called Airlegs and helped revolutionize the Almond Hulling
industry. Units were sold to huller operators directly and through huller plant manufactures who acted as dealers.
During the 1970’s the manufacturing scope of the Company was expanded to include equipment for walnut cleaning and
additional almond hulling equipment, as well as some installation of the equipment.
During the 1980’s the Company focused on expanding their established equipment into additional Tree-Nut industries,
establishing product lines for:
- Cashews
- Hazelnuts
- Macadamia Nuts
- Pecans
- Pistachios
During the 1990’s Cracking and Shelling equipment was developed. This equipment is so successful that complete
processing lines are now being utilized internationally. Product lines have been developed to service the Coffee industry as
well.
In the new millennium we have continued to refine and improve our existing equipment and have expanded our product line to
include Walnut Hulling equipment and complete Hulling Lines. To better serve our customers and to keep up with the growth of our
industry the company was relocated in 2008 to our new 18,000 square foot facility.
