SALES & PROCUREMENT
PROCUREMENT TEAM
Lancaster Foods combines the sales and buying functions with its highly experienced procurement staff. This gives them direct knowledge of the product that is sold to customers and is a key factor in anticipating and meeting their needs. Acquiring these skills takes time and the staff averages 20 years of experience. Effective buying from deep market knowledge translates to value that drives volume for Lancaster Foods and its customers. As the company motto states, Lancaster Foods buyers are trained to procure the “Best Quality” in produce. Lancaster Foods accomplishes this goal by developing close relationships with the leading growers, packers andvshippers in the country and abroad. Those relationships allow for the company to maintain inventory even in times when items are in short supply. Having the finest quality produce of the top labels, on-hand at all times throughout the year, is what the Lancaster Foods procurement team is all about.
