Mpac operates the most technically advanced and efficient kiwifruit packing facility in New Zealand. You simply won’t find a better packhouse or a better team to work with. Benefits of packing with Mpac include:

• We can pack up to 15,000 trays an hour and have capacity to process 30 million trays.
• Our 35 CA rooms for both Gold and Hayward increases the amount of fruit we can pack each season. Our growers are compensated for weight loss.
• Our grading machines utilise Global Scan and Spectrum, the latest versions of camera grading with 99.9% accuracy. Camera grading of Class 2 fruit ensures no quality fruit is missed from Class 1. Mpac is the only operator in the kiwifruit industry who has this configuration.
• NIR grading gives us the ability to recover a portion of fruit which has failed to meet Zespri dry matter requirements. This allows our growers to achieve the highest possible Class 1 pack out.
• Our on-site laboratory can test for fruit pressure, Brix, pests and colour.
• An automatic strapping machine ensures all pallets are ready and well-presented.
• Each of our up-and-over bin dumps can tip up to 120 bins an hour and are the gentlest option for your fruit.
• Our highly automated packing line ensures we are maximising our infrastructure and through-put, providing optimum harvesting capacity for our growers.

We have nine dedicated grower liaisons who look after Mpac growers from Auckland to Gisborne. Our job is to be your advocate. Face-to-face communication is important to us and we look forward to getting to know you both personally and professionally.

• We’ll manage your relationship with the packhouse and look out for your best interests, ensuring you and your crop have a smooth ride during harvest.
• We carry out on-orchard harvest audits for you; will let you know when your fruit is being packed; will give you a personal tour of our packhouse in action; and will immediately report back as to what your pack out was so you’re always in the loop.
• If any on-orchard issues arise or you need advice, you can call us anytime. If we don’t know the answer immediately, we’ll find out for you.
• We interpret and de-mystify industry compliance rules, communications and any industry-wide issues. Growers often have questions around maturity testing, clearance criteria, OGR forecasts and grower payment documentation. Ask us anything and we’ll answer in plain English.
