Our history
A family-owned business, generation after generation.
Pioneer Distributing Co. opened its doors in 1947 and remains a family-owned and operated business. Sally Voyles joined the business in 1971 and took over from her father in the early 1980s upon his retirement.
Her daughter, Tiffany Melia, worked in a variety of roles throughout Pioneer while completing her master's degree in Human Relations. Today, as President, Tiffany continues the family tradition of providing quality products and dependable service throughout Arizona.
