Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month at PDL with Hispanic-Owned Suppliers
¡Feliz Mes de la Herencia Hispana! In celebration of the National Hispanic Heritage Month, we're putting the spotlight on several certified, Hispanic-owned product brands, suppliers, and service providers who partner with Peapod Digital Labs to support the brands of Ahold Delhaize USA.
As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting and uplifting diverse-owned businesses, all the brands highlighted are certified by the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC), an organization that plays a crucial role in advancing procurement opportunities between Hispanic-owned businesses and corporations.
Let's dive in! Here are some incredible Hispanic-owned suppliers to look out for:
First up is Siete Family Foods! A mission-based company with a passion for community and healthier lifestyles, Siete was founded by a Mexican-American family from South Texas. When Cofounder and President Veronica Garza began experiencing health challenges as a teenager, she and her family learned about and embraced a grain-free diet, perfecting alternatives to the family's recipes. They now sell these grain-free Mexican foods on shelves across the U.S., bringing inclusive foods to new tables.
Next we have Accurate Background, LLC. A behind-the-scenes service provider of some of the brands of Ahold Delhaize USA, Accurate Background partners with businesses across the globe to provide precise, timely background screening solutions. This Hispanic-owned business was founded in 1997 by Dave Dickerson and is celebrating it's 25th anniversary this year. Congratulations!
Highpoint provides global information technology solutions to some of the brands of Ahold Delhaize USA. Cofounded in 1996 by Mike and Tom Mendiburu, this Hispanic-owned business offers a variety of networking, storage, data center, and collaboration products and services.
On the shelves of all five brands of Ahold Delhaize USA you’ll find products from Ruiz Foods. Ruiz Foods is a family-owned food manufacturer responsible for the popular brands El Monterey and Artisan Bistro. This Hispanic-owned company has a long legacy of making great food, finding its start in 1964 with Fred Ruiz making his first enchiladas with his father, Louis.
Last but certainly not the least of our National Hispanic Heritage Month supplier features is Chomps! Chomps is a small, family-owned company with a mission to provide the highest quality, best tasting meat snacks. You'll find Chomp's simple snack products at several of the brands of Ahold Delhaize USA, and are working ever towards their goal of making healthy snacks more accessible.
