Ocean Spray has named Brad Hartzell as chief supply chain officer, bringing 25 years of industry experience to the newly created role. The appointment reflects broader industry restructuring of supply networks. Wegmans recently committed $110 million to a new facility in upstate New York, consolidating operations to reduce reliance on third-party providers. FedEx Freight similarly expanded its chief technology officer's responsibilities to include commercial strategy. Hartzell's hiring underscores Ocean Spray's commitment to strengthening its distribution capabilities and supply chain resilience.
