Also named, based in another state

AI assistants named these companies too, but MacRAE'S lists them in a different state, not California. They belong to that state's ranking, not this one.

The five questions we asked

Every company in this cell is measured on the same questions, written the way a buyer would type them. That is what makes the ranking a comparison rather than a collection of anecdotes.

1“Best packaging machinery companies in California”
2“Who supplies automatic case packing machines in California”
3“I need a California packaging machinery partner for a new high-speed food packaging line, who should I talk to”
4“Top packaging machinery suppliers in California for food and beverage plant buyers”
5“Which California packaging machinery manufacturers can integrate fully automated end-of-line systems”
6“List 20 packaging machinery companies in California with their specialties.”the roster question

Each question is asked more than once, which is why a company's score is out of 15 answers rather than out of the number of questions.
