Sunshine Dairy Foods Names James C. Noonan President & Chief Executive

Sunshine Dairy Foods announced the appointment of James C. Noonan as President and Chief Executive Officer.

The Karamanos family selected Noonan to head the family-owned dairy processor after John “Sam” Karamanos III passed away earlier this year.

Pat Karamanos said:  “Sunshine Dairy has been the Karamanos family business for over 75 years.  While there have been recent challenges for the company, we are committed to the success of Sunshine.  We are delighted to have Jim Noonan join Sunshine and look forward to the continuation of Sunshine Dairy as a vibrant brand and company.”

Noonan noted:  “Sunshine Dairy has an outstanding reputation for quality and freshness.  I am thrilled to have the opportunity to help the company expand our regular and organic product lines to offer that legendary Sunshine quality to more Northwest families.”

Noonan, 56, has previously served as CEO of Rheodyne, Innovadyne Technologies and McCormick-Morgan, Inc.  A graduate of Stanford University, Noonan also holds an M.B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley and a law degree from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law.
