Pacific Valley Foods has always been a leader in the industry including being one of the first companies to export U.S. french fries to Japan. As any successful company in international knows, freight and logistics are a vital part of the success of the business. With today’s global market, shipping is an extremely competitive aspect to the overall company. Pacific Valley Foods co-founded a non profit U.S. Shipping Association with uses the combined shipping volumes of its members to leverage benefits for the group, primarily in the form of lower ocean freight rates. What this means for our customers is that we are able to compete on the same scale as many larger corporations . Being competitive on our ocean freight rates is only one piece to the puzzle. Our freight department works diligently to make sure every aspect of logistics runs smoothly and efficiently. Here’s just a sample of what we do for our customers:

• Coordination and arranging of inland freight
• Booking and working with steamship lines
• Consolidation of products from different areas
• When required, providing temperature recorders in reefer containers
• Providing loading plans for our customers
