fbtechreview.com DECEMBER 20248By Eric Treon, Group Vice President, Global MBU, Golden State Foods At Golden State Foods (GSF), persistently innovating every facet of our business is essential to the mutual success of our customers and our company. Whether it's piloting emerging blockchain and IoT technologies, deploying electric trucks into our last-mile food service delivery fleets, or implementing optical-sorting technology into our food processing operations, GSF's culture of innovation emphatically encourages our associates and our teams to explore new ideas, develop novel solutions, and rigorously pursue continuous improvement. As current innovations shape our future and benefit the broader food industry for the better, today's GSF innovators perpetuate a steadfast tradition of innovation that has helped our customers succeed for more than 75 years. Built upon solid values and relationships, our vision has remained simple and impactful: make the best products and provide the best service. As one of the world's largest diversified suppliers to the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) and retail industries, GSF attributes its enduring success to modest yet demanding principles of quality, service, and respect--all of which play critical roles in sustained innovation. Partners in Innovation, Partners in Success Innovation continues to pave the way for GSF's growth, business diversification, and most importantly, customer success. In recent years, GSF seized the opportunity to partner with an iconic QSR customer and another industry supplier, Sealed Air, to successfully launch a new back-of-the-house restaurant operations solution. Key to this initiative, our shared values, and similar innovation cultures enabled the partnership and inspired the collective perseverance required of this long-term undertaking. GSF first partnered with Sealed Air more than three decades ago on form-fill-seal films for liquid products.
