Jim White, Chairman and CEO of Post Harvest Technologies, today announced that Howard Haynes has been named the new president of FMG.

Haynes has over 30 years of leadership and business management experience across a wide variety of industries, including manufacturing, industrial, construction, transportation, healthcare, education, and national defense. He is particularly adept at facilities life cycle management, from inception through planning, design, construction, operations, maintenance, and repair.

"I'm thrilled to begin leading a visionary company in the post harvest supply chain and to use my skills and experiences for key initiatives and projects. From what I've already seen this is a very collaborative organization, and its quickly increasing productivity and earnings tells me it is a force to be reckoned with," said Haynes. "Besides the chance to learn about new processes, technologies, and systems in AgTech, I will conduct operational analyses to increase efficiency and optimize processes at FMG."

Headquartered in Scottsdale, AZ, with service locations in Salinas, CA, and Yuma, AZ, FMG services California, Arizona, and Texas and provides mission-critical facility management, contracting, distribution and operational consulting for operators in the agricultural cold storage industry.

The four divisions are 1) Construction, Maintenance, and Design-Build for temperature-controlled facilities, 2) Manufacturing/OEM for pre-cooling equipment, 3) Sales, Service, Parts and Leasing, and 4) Consulting division. In the Yuma location, FMG operates a manufacturing plant that produces state-of-the-art pre-cooling equipment. It also offers compliance and safety expertise based on its diverse chemical safety and ammonia system knowledge.
