Ruan is honored to receive the 2024 Third Party Provider of the Year award from our Enduring Partner, Dairy Farmers of America (DFA), in recognition of the unparalleled service our dedicated operations provided over the past year while delivering to their customer, Baskin-Robbins.
Our Mira Loma team in California accepted the award on behalf of our three operations based in Algona, WA, Manteca, CA, and Mira Loma, CA, which services more than 650 Baskin Robbins locations weekly throughout seven Western U.S. states.
“We are incredibly proud of the Baskin-Robbins team for this achievement. It is a true testament to their dedication, efficiency, and commitment to excellence demonstrated by the entire team and led by the outstanding on-site leadership of Richard Lucero and Semir Salmeron, along with their operations team leader, Sam Schott,” said Tatum Moyer, Vice President of Operations. “Their relentless focus on service, reliability, and Continuous Improvement has set a high standard in the industry. Congratulations to the team on this well-deserved recognition!”
