SECO & Golden "100" Inc.
SECO & Golden “100”, Inc. is a member owned purchasing cooperative headquartered in DeLand, Florida. The company was formed in 1945 by a group of dairy farmers who sought to improve their bargaining power by combining and leveraging their purchased requirements. Today the membership is comprised of a select group of agriculturally based cooperatives and proprietary companies that are engaged in the production of food and dairy products. The members collectively participate in purchasing programs designed to optimize opportunities within the supply chain for delivering added value.
The cooperative is governed by a board of directors. Each of the member companies designates a director who sits on the board. In addition to addressing the performance of the business, the board receives and acts upon nominations and recommendations for new suppliers, new members and new programs. The directors are also actively involved in the progress and support of individual programs and serve as chairmen of the established program committees.
