Dairy Foods honored Leprino Foods Co., Denver, with the 2011 Tom Camerlo Exporter of the Year award at the membership meeting of the U.S. Dairy Export Council in Chicago on Oct. 25.
At the presentation, Dairy Foods editor in chief Jim Carper cited the company's dedication to export market development, integration of an export mindset into its day-in, day-out business and its devotion to forming lasting partnerships through customer service.
In making its selection, the magazine considered dairy processors who are involved in the export market, who have built strong customer relationships, who are growing their international business, who are investing in their own processing facilities and other criteria. The magazine's staff solicited nominations through its LinkedIn professional network, its editorial advisory board of processors and from other knowledgeable players in the dairy industry.
The November issue of Dairy Foods will include a feature article about Leprino Foods' accomplishments in exporting.
