Winning Culture

To be the best full-service distributor by providing a unique and exceptional array of products and value-added services. We will accomplish this by focusing on five stakeholder principles:

1. Commitment to Customers: We believe our customers are the core to everything we do.
2. Commitment to Suppliers: We will engage with our suppliers to build brands and surpass our mutually-agreed upon goals.
3. Commitment to Employees: We are determined to win while promoting career development and supporting a healthy work-life balance to the best of our abilities.
4. Commitment to Community Involvement: We will be an active, positive influence in the communities where we live and work by dedicating our time, resources, and support.
5. Commitment to Responsibility: Leading by example, we promote responsible consumption when enjoying the products we distribute.

At DDC, we believe a strong corporate culture is one that instills long-standing values in each and every employee. It’s the key to our success. Since 1948, DDC has continued to be a family business that promotes integrity, work-life balance, and professional growth through our company values.

• Accountability: Prioritize our individual responsibilities, take personal ownership of our commitments, and deliver on our promises.
• Candor: Demonstrate and encourage open, honest communication in a professional manner and always in the spirit of helping the company to improve.
• Commitment: Demonstrate loyalty, pride, and trust in our company, the products we distribute, and, most importantly, each other.
• Integrity: Adhere to sound moral and ethical principles, never compromising what is right.
• Leadership: Inspire and develop others, while having the courage to make difficult decisions.
• Respect: Treat others the way we want to be treated and ensure proper recognition of one another’s contributions.
• Safety: A heightened awareness of the conditions and actions around us with the goal of preventing injuries and accidents.

DDC has not only grown to be a premier beverage distributor in the eyes of our customers but also our employees. We offer events like a summer all-company celebration and an annual Children’s holiday party. We also encourage participation in our charitable activities, such as Double H Ranch and the Mechanicville Breast Cancer Awareness Walk. So when people join our family, it’s their families who also benefit from their hard work, while developing a sense of camaraderie along the way.

It all starts with our fun, family-oriented culture, that DDC is recognized as a great place to work, among the many other awards and recognitions we have received.
