New IBC totes delivered in Oregon
Fruit and vegetable preserving is Oregon's most concentrated manufacturing industry among those that fill totes: 9,076 jobs in 2025, 4.1 times the national share (BLS QCEW 2025). Marion County around Salem had 2,273 of them, one of the top counties in the US. Beverage manufacturing employed 7,137, and food manufacturing in all 28,203. USDA counted 139 million cubic feet of refrigerated warehouse space.
Processors take juice concentrates, purées, brines and oils in food-contact totes, often with a 3 in valve for thick products. Breweries, wineries and distilleries hold product in stainless, and high-proof spirits are flammable, which puts them in steel rather than a plastic tote.
Delivery to Oregon
I-5 runs the Willamette Valley from Portland through Salem to Eugene and carries most loads; Multnomah (7,435 warehousing jobs), Marion (4,206) and Linn (1,681) counties are on it. I-84 runs east along the Columbia to the eastern Oregon processing towns. Wineries and farms in the hills often need a smaller truck.
What Oregon buyers usually ask for
Fruit processors putting up purées and concentrates should ask for a 3 in valve; thinner juices drain well through 2 in. Wineries usually want stainless they can clean and refill each harvest. Breweries using totes for wort or water want food-contact bottles that have never held anything else. Hill-country sites in the Willamette Valley often need a smaller truck.

Not sure which tote? Start from the product. A regulated liquid needs a UN-rated tote marked for its specific gravity.
Anything people eat or drink needs a food-contact bottle; a Class I flammable needs a steel IBC.
