Supply Chain Analyst

Company Description

Since 1912, when it was started by a group of California walnut growers, Diamond of California® was on a mission to bring the bounty from California's Central Valley walnut orchards to America's tables. From the beginning, we sought out the very best with the knowledge that Diamond Nuts would be used in treasured and new family recipes. Today, we bring a wider range of nuts from our growers and farms to tables worldwide. Now almost 110 years later, we are still guided by our belief that Diamond Nuts are Made for Homemade.

Along with our sister company (National Pecan), Diamond of California is part of Diamond Foods, LLC, headquartered in Stockton, California. Diamond Foods is now owned by Blue Road Capital, a private equity firm based in New York, which is focused on holdings in the agricultural space. With the support of Blue Road Capital, Diamond of California is during a major transformation to create a modern growth brand participating in the growing consumer desire to incorporate more plant-based products in their diets, for reasons including health and wellness, taste, texture, and variety.
