(Mettler-Toledo: Columbus, OH) -- Andersen and Sons Shelling takes pride in doing big business with small-town values. Founded in 1904, this fourth-generation, family-owned-and-operated company produces a variety of tree nuts that are sold nationwide at most major retailers, as well as internationally. Now processing more than 125 million pounds of nuts annually, Andersen’s ongoing focus on integrity and quality fuels its success. Five Mettler-Toledo Safeline X-ray inspection systems help ensure that products always meet the company’s high standards.

“Prior to 2017, we were sending all our nuts in bulk to contract packers that produced retail packs for our customers,” says Mike Andersen, owner and vice president of sales at Andersen. “When one of our biggest retailers told us they were having problems with their contract packer, they asked us to start private labeling retail packs ourselves in addition to processing. As we began planning our first retail packaging lines, we decided to add X-ray inspection and turned to Mettler-Toledo.
