Sakata celebrates 40th anniversary with Founder's Day Luncheon
Earlier this year, Sakata announced their ‘40 Acts of Kindness’ initiative, intended to honor this milestone by strengthening their commitment to social responsibility and working with forty charitable organizations in 2017. A major example being Tour de Fresh, in which Sakata has currently raised over $6,000 to bring two salad bars to schools in Washington state through the Let’s Move Salad Bars to Schools program.
Sakata announced the winner of their internal bike raffle that raised money for the Sakata Tour de Fresh team at the luncheon. The raffle raised upwards of $600 for the cause due to the generous donation of a Reid Metro 1 Folding Bike by Kenny Trammell of Valley Bikes in Salinas, California.
Sakata also released a new 40th Anniversary video, which illustrates the company’s expansion of infrastructure over the last forty years and exciting plans for the future.
“The new video shows where we started and how far we’ve come. Forty years is a very exciting accomplishment, but it’s just a stepping stone toward a bigger future. In the next forty years, we will continue to expand our business while maintaining the same quality, reliability and service for which Sakata is known,” says John Nelson, Sales and Marketing Director.
