It's National Procurement Month! At Clark Associates, our Procurement team goes beyond just buying — we become experts in the products we source. From hands-on training and factory visits to attending tradeshows and gathering customer insights, we go the extra mile to ensure we source the best products for our customers. Our commitment to knowledge goes even further—43 team members have earned their Certified Food Service Professional (CFSP) certification, reinforcing our expertise in one of the main industries we service. By understanding products inside and out, we drive smarter sourcing and stronger partnerships. That’s the Clark way!

The Certified Food Service Professional (CFSP) credential remains the most important industry certification for foodservice equipment & supplies professionals. After months of study sessions and industry trainings, 15 employees passed this year’s CFSP exam. Congratulations! #certifiedfoodserviceprofessionals
