About Smith Food Machinery
Smith Food Machinery was founded in 1996 in Stockton, California, by Ed Smith. The company remains family-owned and operated, focusing on brokering and selling quality used food processing equipment. The firm acts as a broker and dealer for used machinery across more than 15 equipment categories — including conveyors, kettles, fillers, roasters, and packaging lines. Its inventory has included items such as Rietz disintegrators, Vanmark wash lines, FMC pulper-finishers, and Fuji robotic baggers. The company reports over 500 machines sold since inception. Smith Food Machinery serves six core food sectors: nut processing, fruit and vegetable, bottling and beverage, filling/canning/labeling, confectionery, and packaging. Its customers range from dealers, brokers, and consulting engineers to end-user production plants seeking specific machines or surplus liquidation services. The company emphasizes a no-pressure, personal-service model: every machine is vetted before listing, and buyers are invited to inspect equipment in person. Long-term relationships with a network of dealers and brokers are prioritized over one-off transactions.
