Here at Sovereign Flavors, we have a highly talented staff working in all kinds of roles at our facility. For this reason, we wanted to spotlight our wonderful employees here on our blog and on our social media page. This month’s Employee Spotlight features Edgar Covarrubias, an outstanding Member of the Sovereign Team.

“I still remember Edgar joining our organization seven years ago. He was a young man looking for an opportunity with very little experience. It took him some time to get settled in, but soon he started to slowly develop in front of our very eyes. Year after year he proved himself invaluable to the company. I am honored and grateful to have witnessed Edgar transform into this mature man that he is now both professionally and to his family. Cheers to you Edgar! Thank you for your dedication and hard work. Stay focused and your future will be limitless.”

– Ritchie Bolante
