Andy Janson is named COO and successor to President F. Brooks Royster.
MTC Logistics on Friday announced a leadership transition plan in which Andrew “Andy” B. Janson has been appointed chief operating officer and will succeed F. Brooks Royster III as president in early 2019.
Royster has served as president of MTC for the past five years and will work with Janson to ensure a smooth transition in leadership. Royster will move into a role as head of international operations for MTC.
“I have served in a leadership role in the logistics industry for more than 40 years and it is time for me reduce my corporate responsibilities and oversee the transition,” Royster said. “Andy is someone I’ve known for many years and he will be a tremendous asset to MTC.”
Janson most recently served as chief executive officer with Hanson Logistics, a temperature-controlled logistics company specializing in warehousing and transportation. He brings nearly 30 years of industry service and currently serves as vice chairman of the International Association of Refrigerated Warehouses.
“Andy’s addition fulfills two of MTC’s strategic objectives: building and maintaining an industry-leading executive team and expanding its transportation subsidiary, MLogistics,” said Harry Halpert, chief executive office of Hoffberger Holdings, MTC’s parent company.
“Ernie Ferguson runs our transportation subsidiary, which was originally established in a joint venture with a company Andy managed 15 years ago. I am excited for these two men to be united once again, and I am excited for MTC’s customers,” Halpert said.
