Bob Rose, VP of Produce Sales commented, “I couldn’t be happier to add Andy Shoemaker as our Director of Perishable Logistics to the Allen Lund family. Allen Lund began his journey hauling produce across the USA. Our core business today centers around the cold chain and keeping our customers fulfilled. Andy has been in all aspects of the produce business with most of his time spent with Taylor Farms. He brings a unique perspective to ALC as he understands what our customers go through on a daily, weekly, yearly basis. We welcome Andy in his new role and know he will help make us even stronger in the perishable landscape.”
Shoemaker added, “I've been in the industry for a long time and have always admired the reputation and culture the Allen Lund Company had. When I realized I still wanted to work and utilize my talents, traits, relationships, etc., it was the reputation of ALC that enticed me to "get back in the hunt."
