Dec. 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Recently, Joe Howeth, Delivery Systems Sales Manager for Magline, discussed how the company is addressing an aging workforce as part of the Innovation 2014 initiative.  According to Howeth, “The driver no longer has to handle the product being delivered 3 or more times at each delivery when using a Magline Delivery System. Thus the driver reduces the amount of lifting, bending and twisting at each delivery. When using the Magline System the driver will touch the product 1 time at each delivery. Using a Magline System also offers the customer an increased “pool” of potential employees since the job becomes less physical.”

Howeth shared that, “I began my career in the DSD business (direct store delivery) and spent sixteen years in that environment before coming to Magline in 2002. I worked for Pepsi in Ft. Worth, TX where I started as a merchandiser out of college and left Pepsi as a District Manager over C-Store Sales and Delivery. I spent six years at President Baking Company where I was the district manager over ten independent route owners delivering Murray and Famous Amos Cookie products. President Baking was purchased by Keebler. I came to Magline as a field sales representative and have held jobs with Magline as a Region Manager, Business Development Manager (Food Service) and currently the Delivery Systems Sales Manager.”
