What a great example of partnership and working together to achieve something great. This has been a terrific project for us. I marvel at what can happen in 18 months, in terms of pulling a facility of this size and complexity together. By finding the right partners and working together—we can become world-class.” This partnership with U.S. Cold Storage provides the platform from which Blue Diamond will achieve its objective for a more effective approach to the movement of almonds within the valley. The collective efforts enabled Blue Diamond to implement a solution that optimizes storage space and allows the cooperative to manage significantly larger crops in the future. The location is ideal for Blue Diamond because of its close proximity to the Turlock production facility and directly benefits the transportation, storage, and environmental sustainability workstreams. Turlock and Sacramento are two out of the ten USCS sites in California, and the facility will serve as the primary location for industrial customers on domestic and international levels. This addition to Blue Diamond is an exciting advancement for the cooperative. 2 1 N O V E M B E R – D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 9
