Bancroft, Wis. — Effective August 29, Chuck Curl will join the sales staff at RPE as the new sales operations manager. Former sales operations manager, Kevin Wright, will shift his focus to the position of director of retail sales. Based in RPE’s Wisconsin office, Curl will be responsible for oversight of RPE’s customer service team, transportation department, and production coordination and serve as the sales and operation liaison.
Curl’s experience includes over 25 years in the produce industry. In the past, Curl has worked for Red Book Credit Services and most recently Blue Book Services, Inc. where he served as the ratings director, specializing in the produce and lumber sectors.
Curl commented on the new position by saying, “I’m very excited about the opportunity to work with the RPE team and help them continue in their efforts to promote the RPE brand. I believe that the experience I’ve gained over the years, along with my business perspectives will be an asset to the company.”
“We are thrilled to have Chuck join our RPE family,” says Russell Wysocki, president and CEO of RPE. “As our organization grows, it is imperative that we seek out talented individuals from every aspect of the produce industry, allowing us to further serve our customers and continue to be an expert for category potato and onion growth.”
Currently located in the greater Chicago area, Curl and his wife will soon be relocating to Central Wisconsin, and are looking forward to pursuing their hobbies of biking and hiking.
RPE, a second-generation family farm, is a category leader and key grower/shipper of year-round potatoes and onions. RPE prides itself on maintaining a high level of business integrity that includes commitments to environmental sustainability, as well as category innovation and retail solutions.
