Kahiki Foods Hires Industry Veteran to Lead Foodservice Division

"We are committed to expanding our foodservice channel at an accelerated pace," said Tim Tsao, Kahiki's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Don's proven track record in this channel makes him the perfect individual to lead this initiative. He has my full confidence and the full support of all Kahiki associates."

Blumenthal has spent 27 years in the Foodservice Industry, serving as Vice President of Marketing for Tyson Foods, Inc., Vice President and General Manager for ConAgra Frozen Foods, and most recently, Principal of Top Line Success, Inc., a Foodservice Industry sales and marketing consultancy.

"I consider myself privileged to have the opportunity to lead the foodservice division for a fashion-forward company like Kahiki Foods," stated Blumenthal. "Kahiki is passionate about quality and extremely committed to all employees, customers and to the industry they serve."

The addition of Blumenthal to Kahiki's leadership team is further testament to the company's successful growth strategy.

Last year Kahiki charted new record-highs in overall sales, year-over-year growth and output per direct labor hour. In fact, the company was selected in March as the recipient of Refrigerated and Frozen Foods magazine's "Food Plant of the Year" Award for its outstanding commitment to quality, safety and consistency.
