Distribution Manager jobs in Poughkeepsie, NY

About Us: Established in the early 2000s, Fineline began as a
family business with a bold ambition: to revolutionize the restaurant and
food service industry with plastics that are both innovative and practical.
Working with a team of designers, we rejected the overly utilitarian shapes
that the plastics industry was dependent on. Instead, we sought to replicate
high-end, elegant forms. Every Fineline product is made with the
same values we’ve maintained in our products from the start: innovation,
quality craftsmanship, and functionality. Our goal, as it has always been, is
to revolutionize the industry with dynamic new ideas that drive value and raise
expectations, advancing growth and giving power to the customer. As we continue
to expand, overtaking the high standards we set for ourselves, we haven’t
forgotten our old-fashioned family values: commitment to our customers,
high-performance plastics at incredible value, and, as always, making design-driven
products.
