ingredients PLUS has hired Victor Pacheco as its Senior Vice President for Operations & Logistics, where Pacheco will be spearheading the creation and management of operational strategies from supply chain management to production operations, logistics and customer delivery.

Pacheco joins the company from Bunge, a provider of edible oils and milled grain ingredients, where he was a Plant Manager and Director of continuous improvement. In his role at Bunge, Pacheco managed production of a wide array of products including soybean, palm, canola, cotton and corn.

At ingredients PLUS Pacheco and his team will continue meeting customers as of where and when their production circumstances dictate while expanding the Rochester-headquartered company’s footprint. The company meets food and beverage manufacturers’ needs with its fleet of trucks, railcars and plants in Pennsylvania and across New York to serve customers based in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast.

“Victor has years of experience with a global leader in our industry and his personality and skill set match perfectly with our team and our goals as a company,” said Erin Johnson, Senior Vice President of Organizational Strategy & Development for ingredients PLUS. “He’s already proving critical to our strategic growth across the U.S. as well as plans to diversify our product offerings.”

“Prioritising outstanding customer care is my mission, and as we grow, I’ll help apply the best practices I’ve learned to manage a global supply chain operation, multi-site production, and continuous improvement,” added Victor Pacheco, Senior Vice President for Operations & Logistics, ingredients PLUS. “I’m passionate about making sure we’re good stewards of the environment, too, everywhere we have a presence; we’re challenging ourselves to be more productive while reducing emissions and waste.”

Pacheco earned his MBA from Missouri Baptist University and a bachelor’s degree from Southern Illinois University. He and his family have since relocated to Rochester, NY and he now serves as a member of the company’s executive leadership team.
