Before being named CEO, Justin Parnagian served as vice president of sales, and Leland Parnagian was working as vice president of real estate for the company.
“We are humbled by the board’s appointment and look forward to building on the legacy of excellence that spans more than 60 years,” Justin Parnagian said in the release. “The four brothers have worked tirelessly to bring Fowler Packing to where it is today.”
Fowler has also added Jim Bates as a board member, the release said.
