Archway Adds Staff, Space

Fulfillment house Archway Marketing Services has expanded its staff and its facilities.

The Minneapolis-based company (formerly Gage Marketing Services) has hired Dan Abell as VP-information technology and Joe Rudolph as VP-finance.

Abell will oversee all IT functions; he had been an executive at Broder Bros. Co., with earlier stints at Fruit of the Loom and Black & Decker. Rudolph will oversee finance and accounting; he had been an exec at American Greetings Corp.

Archway also has hired Steve Fine as general manager of its new Valencia, CA warehouse and distribution facility. Fine had been VP-digital fulfillment services for Arvato Services, a divison of Bertelsmann.

The Valencia center is Archway's seventh; its other warehouses are in Minneapolis (2), Detroit (3) and Ontario, Canada, a total of 2 million-plus square feet of distribution and warehouse space. The fulfillment house has expanded over the last year with new construction in Minneapolis in addition to the Valencia facility.
