United Salad Co. and Duck Delivery Produce, Inc. are committed to growth both for our customers and us. We recently completed construction on a new plant, warehouse and office complex, which we moved into in June of 1999. This new complex consists of 100,000 square feet of space and uses the latest technology in both warehouse and processing production. Our companies pride themselves on growing and purchasing only the highest quality product available and have built their reputations and success on that commitment. Together, United Salad Co. and Duck Delivery Produce, Inc. constitute the largest produce house in Oregon. We receive fresh produce seven days a week. All fresh produce moves through our warehouses anywhere from four to six times a week. This product rotation insures that new product is available daily. We understand the importance of food safety. Our commitment to curbing food borne illness is the number one priority of our new facility. Although we currently have an HAACP program in our processing plant, our warehouse and processing plant go far beyond any program in this marketplace. We have the ability to monitor product from the field to your door. Our refrigerated docks and staging areas, and our back-up generator system insure the quality of products while in our possession. Constant microbiological inspection and personnel training in our processing plant will provide you with the safest processed product available. Our purchase of new delivery trucks with heavier refrigerated boxes will bring you products that have never broken the cold chain. United Salad Co., through its subsidiary Pride Packing Co., owns 1,800 acres of prime apple, pear, and soft fruit orchards in Eastern Washington. The exceptional quality product that is grown on this land is available for sale to the customers of United Salad and Duck Delivery. During the past 25 years, Pride Packing Co. has grown to be one of the top 20 soft fruit producers in the United States, and one of the top 100 apple producers in the country. We ship over one million packages on an annual basis. With our new, state-of-the-art packing and processing facility, together with on-site controlled atmosphere storage for 500,000 packages, we have become one of the leaders in this industry. One of the most critical factors in supplying you with the freshest, highest quality product at a competitive price is the ability to coordinate the transportation of that product. United Salad Co. purchased a produce distribution operation in Seattle, Washington, on August 1, 1999. This facility operates as Duck Delivery of Washington, Inc. This gives United Salad Co. the broadest distribution base of any independent produce company in the Pacific Northwest. Day after day, we feel that United Salad Co. and Duck Delivery Produce, Inc. have the best in products and services to offer the Oregon and Washington marketing areas. Since 1940, we have been committed to giving you, the customer, our very best. United Salad Co. and our related companies have always prided themselves on growing and purchasing only the highest quality product available and have built their reputations and success on that commitment.
