Oregon Fruit Co. Named a 2025 Dot Foods Quality & Service Award Winner — Again.
THE WIN
Oregon Fruit Co. has been named a 2025 Winner of the Dot Foods Quality & Service Award — making this our seventh year earning this recognition from one of the most respected names in food redistribution. Dot Foods, the nation's largest food industry redistributor, presents this award annually to a select group of supplier partners who have demonstrated exceptional performance across inbound service levels, communication standards, loading efficiency, and overall reliability.
Not every supplier makes the list. Not every supplier makes it seven times.
WHAT THE AWARD MEASURES
Dot Foods doesn't hand these out lightly. Their Quality & Service Award criteria are specific, consistently applied, and rigorously tracked month over month. Winners are evaluated on:
- Inbound service levels: are products arriving on time, complete, and correct?
- Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) compliance: are we communicating clearly and promptly?
- Loading efficiency: is every shipment handled with care and precision?
- Overall service and communication: do we show up the way our partners need us to?
For foodservice professionals, restaurant operators, and supply chain buyers sourcing through distributors like Dot Foods or SYSCO, these aren't abstract metrics. They're the difference between a kitchen that runs smoothly and one that scrambles for product on a Friday night.
We take that seriously. We always have.
Ninety years of growing, packing, and delivering fruit will do that to you.
WHY IT MATTERS TO YOU
If you're a foodservice buyer, a restaurant executive, or a distributor rep evaluating suppliers — here's what seven consecutive Dot Foods Quality & Service Awards actually tell you about Oregon Fruit Co.:
1. Our supply chain is dependable.
Oregon Fruit Co. has been sourcing, processing, and distributing premium fruit since 1935. We know how to move product. Our logistics infrastructure is built for the demands of modern foodservice — which means fewer stockouts, fewer surprises, and more consistency on your end.
2. We communicate like partners, not vendors.
Dot's award criteria specifically measures communication. That's not an accident — it's because a supplier who goes dark when there's a problem is worse than no supplier at all. Our team communicates proactively. We flag issues early. We work with our distribution partners to find solutions instead of passing problems downstream.
3. The product lives up to the promise.
Quality and service are two different things, and Dot measures both. Our premium Refreshers and Pourable Fruits are packed in our Salem headquarters and held to standards that have been consistent for nine decades. What you spec is what arrives.
4. Seven years is not luck.
One year could be a strong quarter. Two years could be momentum. Seven consecutive wins is a system. It reflects operational discipline, a team committed to doing it right, and a company culture that treats every shipment like it matters — because it does.
FROM SALEM, WITH PRIDE
Oregon Fruit Co. is based in Salem, Oregon — the heart of the Willamette Valley, one of the most productive growing regions in the country. We produce and pack at our facility, and ship to foodservice customers across the nation through distribution partners like Dot Foods.
This award belongs to our team. Every person on the floor, every person on the phone, every driver and picker and packer and account manager who shows up and does it right. They are the reason we keep winning this.
We're proud of it. And we don't plan to stop.
Seven years down. More to come.
