QCS Purchasing Cooperative is a member-owned buying group for companies involved in food and beverage production, and it is the largest purchasing cooperative of its kind. It concentrates purchasing at the category level for producers of dairy, fruit, beverages, water conditioning, vegetables, and other food products to create buying leverage and more competitive pricing. Members also gain access to market insights, category expertise, and Food Safety & Quality services to support sourcing decisions while the cooperative maintains low overhead to maximize the value of ownership.
