Richard’s strong financial background gives weight to our sales program, and Carmen’s industry knowledge and ability to speak the language of retailers are strong assets.” says Patrick. “They’ve already hit the ground running.”

The new sales and marketing appointments underscore Cory’s quest for growth on the eve of the company’s celebration of 80 years in business, which takes place in 2014.
