Dole owns a cannery, freezer, juice concentrate plant, a box forming plant, a can manufacturing plant and a fresh fruit packing plant, which are located at or near the pineapple plantations.
The Company owns and operates a multi-fruit cannery, can manufacturing plant and juice concentrate plant located in central Thailand and a second mulit-fruit cannery in southern Thailand near where Dole grows pineapples.
Dole operates 18 fresh-cut fruit and vegetable distribution centers in Japan through joint ventures with local distributors. Dole also owns processing and distribution centers in Shanghai, China and in Qingdao, China.
Dole's Worldwide Packaged Food Division operates three canneries in Asia: two in Thailand and one in the Philippines. These canneries supply North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and the Middle East. These canneries have significantly expanded their operations into diversified products, including plastic cups, jars and pouches. The pineapples used at these canneries are sourced from a large Dole-operated plantation and independent growers in the Philippines and primarily from independent growers in Thailand.
