Gary Glick, Culver City, Calif.-based Powell's senior vice president of sales for the West and Clay Ackard, vice president of sales for the East, will team with Price to handle sales management for the company. Price's previous experience includes working with Primo International, Rosalco and Amisco.

"Having a top notch dedicated sales force as well as having an experienced management team in place to support our retail partners with quick response and follow up makes it easy to do business with Powell."
