Koster leaves Mann Packing
SALINAS, CA -- Tom Koster, who in January 2006 stepped into the newly created position of vice president of sales and shipping for Salinas, CA-based Mann Packing Co., has left the company to run Koster Communications, a firm he founded with his wife, Lorri Koster, who is currently co-chairman of Mann Packing Co.
No replacement for Mr. Koster has been named and a search has yet to be launched.
Mr. Koster joined Mann in 1990 on the sales desk, and was promoted to director of sales in 2002. As vice president of sales and shipping, Mr. Koster was responsible for overseeing the servicing of Mann's customers from order receipt to product shipment.
On Oct. 5, Mann's board of directors elected Ms. Koster to the position of co- chairman following the death of her father, Don Nucci, who died unexpectedly Sept. 4. Ms. Koster had been a consultant to the family business in the marketing and communication areas.
Mr. Koster's voice message at Mann said that he left Mann to spend more time with his family at home and that his wife "will be holding down the fort here" at Mann Packing.
