VACAVILLE, Calif., May 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As we work toward a
recovery phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mariani Packing Company is
incredibly proud of our Community Members who have risen to the
occasion to ensure that we're able to maintain an uninterrupted
supply of great-tasting and healthy food for consumers across our
country and around the world. Mariani, an Essential Business and
part of the Food Chain Supply, stands committed to fulfilling our
mission. Driving this effort has been our Front- line
Production & Logistics Teams who have answered the call –
allowing our facilities to run 6 days a week, 24 hours a day to
ensure that we remain fully open and operational to meet the
historic record demand we've experienced as our customers work to
keep store shelves full, and people nourished. "The unwavering
commitment by these dedicated Team Members have made them our Food
Heroes," said George Sousa, Jr.,
family member and President of Mariani Packing Company. "In my 40
plus years working with the company, I have never been so proud of
our Team Members. They are a daily inspiration to us all."
Contributing to their success has been their vigilance in enforcing
and adhering to the guidelines established by the Center for
Disease Control (CDC), as well as those issued by Local and State
Authorities to protect all of their fellow Community Members'
health at work and home. To date, the Team's commitment to safety
& sanitation has resulted in zero confirmed cases of COVID-19
amongst our Community Members who work throughout our five
production facilities in two states. Mariani has honored these Food
Heroes with recognition for their dedication and service.
