R&D Teams of the Year Golden State Foods: Serving Foodservice

摘要

Product development at Golden State Foods involves three Ps -people, process and places - according to Mitch Dingwall, product development senior director for the company, which is based in Irvine, Calif. Each of those elements played a key role in powering GSF's success during the Covid year of 2020.In 2020 the company's product development department handled over 700 projects, created more than 1,200 product prototypes, and launched 135 new products. Those figures are especially noteworthy given the Covid restrictions the 27-person team labored under."That many projects is at the higher end of our capacity," Dingwall says. "That's why I'm so proud of our team and the process we use."
