Henry Ginaca
Commercial pineapple production started with hand peeling operations. A large amount of labor was required and production rates were very slow. Under these conditions Dole was in search of a solution to increase production rates and expand their business to the continental United States.
Thats where, in 1911 Henry Ginaca came in - revolutionizing the pineapple business. He implemented a machine that increased the production from 15 to 50 pineapples per minute, enough to reduce the cannery size to economical proportions, allowing the industry to grow rapidly.
