Welcome to Dean Foods Procurement
At Dean Foods Procurement, our goal is to simplify how we purchase goods and services needed to run our businesses, and to bring greater value to the Company through higher levels of technology, service, quality, delivery, and cost reduction from our suppliers.
Our number one focus is to identify suppliers who will consistently deliver the highest levels of Total Customer Satisfaction across the entire Dean Foods landscape. "We pick our suppliers on purpose through a process," as we like to say. We strive to incorporate a one-company, collaborative approach to procurement by working seamlessly across divisions and functions, and involving our suppliers early in our processes and projects. We expect extraordinary pricing, service, support, innovation and continuous improvement from our selected suppliers, and we work hard to instill these values throughout our Supply Chain.
We are aligned with the Institute for Supply Management's Principles and Standards of Ethical Supply Management Conduct and Principles of Sustainability and Social Responsibility, and choose to work with suppliers that share these same values.
As you browse the Procurement section of this website, you will find more information on our Procurement Principles and Best Practices and our Total Customer Satisfaction philosophy, all of which we take very seriously and practice daily. Suppliers will be able to input their company profiles through our Supplier Registration link so that they may be considered for future business opportunities.
