Andy Rucker
Marketing Services Manager
I joined Kahiki in May, 2005 after having worked 30 years in the food packaging and distribution business with large employers like Wendy’s International and Pactiv Corporation. Kahiki has that special “family culture” environment or what we refer to as Aloha spirit that is apparent in how our associates work together in a cooperative, dedicated and respectful manner day in and day out.
My key role at Kahiki has been to manage and develop all new packaging and graphics needs for the company and its Sales team. In addition, I have executive sales report and trade show planning responsibilities.
