PHILADELPHIA – MEDCO has announced that Todd D’Angelo has joined the company as vice president and general manager for the Western Region. D’Angelo also was named a member of the MEDCO Executive Committee and will report directly to MEDCO President Andrew Keim.

Most recently, D’Angelo was with D’Angelo’s/Angel Warehouse, with locations in both Oxnard and Pacoima, Calif., where he served in such positions as general manager, executive vice president of sales and president.

In addition to D'Angelo's appointment, MEDCO has also announced plans to expand from its current 22,000-square-foot facility in Fresno, Calif., to a 45,000-square-foot location in the same city, as it prepares for significant growth on the West Coast and adds full line PBE to its existing tools and equipment offerings. MEDCO says it will be fully operational in its new location on April 1.
 
“We are very excited about the contributions that we expect Todd will be able to make to our business and to our clients’ successes for many years,” said Keim. “Todd’s understanding of the business and the region is significant; his reputation with customers, suppliers and industry organizations is unparalleled; and his leadership skills have been proven and tested in one of the most important PBE and T&E markets in the country. I know that Todd will be a major asset to MEDCO and to me personally.”
 
MEDCO opened its first West Coast warehouse in Fresno in 2002, and says it is building on its success as it opens the new 45,000-square-foot facility in the same city, while introducing PBE products to the region.

“This decision to expand was driven by possibilities and commitment,” said Keim. “We will now operate not only the most state-of-the-art warehouse in the region, but will have an expanded product offering and a fully staffed customer service team as Fresno becomes our major hub west of the Rockies.”

In commenting on his move to MEDCO, D’Angelo said, “I have admired MEDCO, its vision and its leadership of the industry for some time, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to contribute to the future of this great company. At a time when so many distributors seem to be scaling back operations and consolidating for efficiency, the fact that MEDCO is expanding says a lot about commitment, success and the future for our customers.”
