Plant Manager-Stockton, Ca Location

**Must have Manufacturing Experience**

Since 1912, when it was started by a group of California walnut growers, Diamond of
California® was on a mission to bring the bounty from California’s Central Valley walnut orchards to America’s tables. From the beginning, we sought out the very best with the knowledge that Diamond Nuts would be used in treasured and new family recipes. Today, we bring a wider range of nuts from our growers and farms to tables worldwide. Now almost 110 years later, we are still guided by our belief that Diamond
Nuts are Made for Homemade.
