WESTCHESTER, Ill., July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TreeHouse
Foods, Inc. (NYSE:THS) today announced that as part of its
continuing integration of Bay Valley Foods, Harry J. Walsh, 52, has
been appointed President of that operating company. Mr. Walsh has
been Senior Vice President - Operations of TreeHouse. Mr. D. Joe
Coning, 61, leaves the post of President of Bay Valley Foods to
assume the position of Senior Vice President - Supply Chain at the
TreeHouse corporate office. These management changes are effective
immediately. "The organizational changes enable us to effectively
complete the integration of recent acquisitions, maintain operating
focus and continue the strategic evolution of our operations into a
more powerful private label, foodservice and industrial business
platform," said TreeHouse Chairman and CEO Mr. Sam K. Reed. "Harry
Walsh has demonstrated great leadership directing the integration
of E.D. Smith into the Bay Valley operations. His previous
successful general management experience and intimate knowledge of
Bay Valley Foods make him ideally suited to lead the Bay Valley
Foods team. Joe Coning has done an outstanding job leading Bay
Valley as we doubled its size and expanded its portfolio to soup,
salsa and salad dressing. Joe will bring his extensive Bay Valley
Foods operating experience to lead our ongoing strategic assessment
of our supply chain and the evolution of our manufacturing and
logistics platform." In conjunction with these changes,
management's focus at Bay Valley Foods will narrow to concentrate
on go-to-market, operations, procurement and margin improvement, as
other administrative duties are transferred to TreeHouse corporate.
The goal is to consolidate administrative support, such as IT and
Human Resources, at the corporate TreeHouse level. TreeHouse is a
food manufacturer servicing primarily the retail grocery and
foodservice channels. Its products include non-dairy powdered
coffee creamer; private label soup, salad dressings and sauces;
salsa and Mexican sauces; jams, jellies and pie fillings under the
E.D. Smith brand name; pickles and related products; infant feeding
products; and other food products including aseptic sauces,
refrigerated salad dressings, and liquid non-dairy creamer.
TreeHouse believes it is the largest manufacturer of pickles and
non-dairy powdered creamer in the United States based on sales
volume. http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050726/CGTREELOGO
