Daniel Gallardo has spent most of the past 44 years in same building: the Dold Foods plant in Wichita, Kan. What’s more, he wouldn’t have it any other way.
What’s kept him there all these years? “To me, if you love what you’re doing, you don’t work a day in your life,” he says. “I just love being here.”
Daniel is the first member of the Dold Foods team to receive the Hormel Foods jersey in the Pride of the Jersey award program currently underway.
“We wanted to pick someone who represented our cultural beliefs and Danny came to mind right way,” says Dold Foods Plant Manager Joe Peine, who met Daniel on his first day on the job three years ago.
“People told me, ‘This is someone you need to get to know,” he says.
Daniel became part of the Hormel Foods team in 1984 when the company acquired Dold Foods. Throughout the years, he’s earned the respect and admiration of his co-workers because of his work ethic and his ability to “be part of the solution,” Joe says.
