Dömmen Hires John Orendorff As GM

By Greenhouse Grower staff|September 30, 2008

Dömmen USA has hired John Orendorff as its new general manager for domestic activities. Orendorff most recently served as general manager for GardenReady Solutions, a live goods logistics company in Texas that’s in its third year of operation. Orendorff also brings 15 years experience with Wal-Mart to Dömmen.

His experience as a buyer for Wal-Mart sparked a desire to develop a model to streamline the supply chain in the live goods industry. GardenReady Solutions was his answer, and we profiled the company and Orendorff in our August 2008 BenchPress Profile.

“In key management positions with Wal-Mart and recently logistics and distribution, John has developed a comprehensive understanding of the needs and challenges of modern growers,” says Perry Wismans, president of Dömmen. “His experience, coupled with a passion for the horticulture industry, makes John a perfect fit for Dömmen’s objective to be the easiest and most reliable young plant supplier with which to work.”
