Apple Valley Foods US is part of the Harlan Foods’ family of companies. Together, we provide more than 2 in 10 Americans with the food products they love to enjoy at mealtime and get-togethers each week.
Harlan Foods success comes from a reputation for quality, consistency and innovation. Our mission pillars are what we, as Food Manufacturing Professionals, live by each day.
Integrity, Quality and Customer Service.
However, our reputation and our ability to live up to the quality standards our customers expect is driven by one thing. Our people.
Harlan Foods, and Apple Valley Foods US believe in promoting from within. Why is this so important to us?
It is simple. Employees who have been with our company for an extended period are committed to being a professional. They have gained the knowledge, skills, know how, as well as, the critical training and Professional Certifications necessary for Harlan Foods and Apple Valley Foods US to deliver the very best. One product at a time.
Most of our senior production team leaders have worked their way up from entry level positions. And, many of them have risen through the ranks in a very short period of time.
Take Ana. She is the focus of September’s Professional Spotlight. Four years ago, Ana was a brand new employee, who spoke no English. She was shy and reserved. She was an entry level production employee with no prior food manufacturing experience and no leadership training or experience.
These facts didn’t hold Ana back. Instead, they motivated her! In four years, Ana has mastered English, has received four promotions and pay raises. She is a S.A.F.E. (Standards Based, Accountability Driven, Food Excellence) Certified Food Professional, and Ana now leads an entire shift at one of our state of the art food manufacturing facilities.
Ana is now responsible for the production of every single product and every single production employee during that shift! And, if you ask Ana, she is just getting started!
