PORTERVILLE, CA – The Magnolia Citrus Association, a member of Sunkist Growers, has announced that the organization plans to appoint Mike Cranmer as Manager/CEO of Magnolia Citrus for the 2018 season. Cranmer will first move from his current position in the company to fulfill the transitionary role of Assistant Manager on July 1, before phasing into his executive role on September 1st.

“With 19 years of experience in the Sunkist system handling sales and packing operations for several packinghouses, Mike Cranmer will be a great leader for Magnolia Citrus,” said current Manager/CEO Frank Arcure. “I feel fortunate to be passing along my responsibilities to such a capable, results-driven sales and operations professional.”

Cranmer’s packinghouse experience began in 1995 with the California Citrus Exchange in Lindsay, CA, as a sales representative. During this period, Cranmer promoted sales for seven different Sunkist packinghouses.

Since this beginning, Cranmer has also fulfilled positions in sales and operations for Paramount Citrus Association, Baird-Neece Packing Corporation, Sierra Citrus, and most recently at Visalia Citrus Packing Group’s Woodlake facility.

Cranmer will step into his role as Manager/CEO of Magnolia Citrus once Arcure steps down from the position this fall.
