“Over the last few years, Andy has been instrumental in leading many of the significant transformational initiatives that have strengthened our operational performance, including the recent SAP implementations at HPI and CID and WMS implementation at CID. With the bulk of these major projects behind us, as well as Andy’s 20 years of experience in the CFO role, we are confident that he will effectively and strategically manage his multiple roles for the foreseeable future,” said Michael Benstock, CEO.
