OUR MISSION
Sierra Pacific Warehouse Group makes our customers successful by providing professional, quality, friendly, dedicated, accurate, safe, and efficient warehousing and logistics services.
Here we are in a whole new season!
Thanks to all that helped us achieve our 6th AA rating BRCGS audit and certification. This is great news and really helps us stand out from the competition. Our customers count on us to be the experts, know what we are doing and show that we have the best practices.Our goal is to be excellent at what we do. Take the time to do it right, check our work, and deliver each load just like we would want to receive it.
We are going into uncharted times. Many of our customers import their products and others export. The tariffs are creating uncertainty in the market in the supply chain and it’s unknown where it will end up. What we do know for sure, is that during this time of uncertainty, we want our customers to know that they can count on us, to be reliable and trustworthy. I know I can count on each one of you to help make our customers successful, each and every shipment. I am proud of our SPWG team and look forward to a successful season.
Thank you!
SPRING 2025
BRCGS AA Re-Certificated and Ready for the Year Ahead!
Sierra Pacific has successfully wrapped up the 2025 BRCGS Storage and Distribution audits of our warehouse facilities in Modesto and Patterson! With audit findings kept to a minimum, both Modesto and Patterson have achieved AA Ratings for the sixth year in a row! Sierra Pacific maintains the mindset that when you follow through on storage and handling the right way the first time, we are ultimately prepared for any inspection, audit, or visit that may pop up, announced or otherwise, and our recent BRCGS Audits and Organic Inspections reflected that. Our dedication to quality service and warehousing for our customers was on full display, and it shows that our teams take pride in the roles they play in the food supply chain. Thank you to all teams in Modesto and Patterson for showing what an independent family-owned operation can accomplish!
