MLC, formerly Mississippi Lime Co., named Cheryl Stuckmeyer vice president of supply chain.
As part of MLC’s executive leadership team, Stuckmeyer will oversee the company’s logistics, inventory management, procurement and trucking functions, according to MLC.
Stuckmeyer brings over two decades of supply chain leadership experience to her new role, having most recently served as head of supply chain management at Bayer. MLC says her expertise in food, agriculture and industrial markets enables her to understand the unique dynamics of the company’s markets and stakeholders.
“Over her distinguished career, Cheryl has established a comprehensive background in strategic supply chain planning, people development and consistent delivery of business results,” says Paul Hogan, president and CEO of MLC. “She will be a valued member of our executive team, providing leadership and direction as we continue to invest in our supply chain capabilities to support long-term growth.”
Stuckmeyer joins MLC as the business ramps up activities related to supply chain expansion, according to the company. MLC recently expanded service for its trucking division to include its Chester, South Carolina, operation, as well as increasing long-range trucking capabilities from its largest site in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri.
Other recent investments include growing rail and transloading capabilities at multiple sites, diversifying fuel sources and establishing more distribution terminals to bring inventories closer to customers. These investments enhance the flexibility of MLC’s supply chain and create opportunities to lower the carbon footprint associated with logistics, the company says.
“We separated our supply chain function from operations a few years ago to provide dedicated leadership for planning, procurement and logistics,” Hogan says. “This has really helped us to cement our position as the leader in supply chain excellence for the lime industry. Cheryl will be focused on continuing this trend through best-in-class efficiencies, partner relationships, service levels and logistics.”
