(KAIR)--An Atchison native is named as the future Vice President of Sales for the Distilling Solutions segment of Atchison-based MGP Ingredients, with the current holder of the title set to retire at the end of the year.  

Matt Krusemark is selected to fill the seat once it’s vacated by David Dykstra who, according to release, “recently announced to customers and colleagues his plan to retire December 31 after more than 30-years with MGP.”  

Krusemark, the release says, “joined MGP in 2005 as an inside sales and customer service representative,” who was promoted five-years later to Inside Sales Manager for food grade and industrial alcohol.  

Following other advances in his career with the company, Krusemark in 2021 was promoted to Alcohol Sales Director.  The release notes that Dykstra is working closely with Krusemark “to assure a smooth transition in the new year.”
