By: Newsfile

(NASDAQ: RMCF) (the "Company", "we" or "RMCF"), a leading manufacturer and international franchiser of gourmet chocolates and other confectionary products, today announced the appointments of Tyson Snider as Senior Director - Manufacturing, and Justin Bashein as Director - Research & Development ("R&D") / Quality Regulatory Compliance (QRC).

"Both of these new positions are based in Durango, Colorado and are critical to meeting the first phase of the Company's strategic plan: improving and enhancing factory operations and the entire end-to-end supply chain," said CEO Rob Sarlls. "Our business transformation is gaining momentum in an industry that continues to evolve. These proactive investments in organizational capabilities further define the Company's competitive position and growth opportunities."

Tyson Snider has responsibility for manufacturing, sanitation, continuous improvement, maintenance and plant safety functions. All are instrumental in delivering the Company's vision and ongoing operations initiatives. Most recently serving as Business Director for contract manufacturer Wyandot Snacks, he brings strong expertise in manufacturing, finance and technology, critical factors necessary to oversee operations efficiency. In both the food and industrial sectors, Snider has led manufacturing best-practices that ensure that quality production and commercialization are engineered into all finished products. His record of consistent and efficient production delivery, and high standards of regulatory safety and compliance, will serve the Company well. Snider holds a bachelor's degree in business administration from Ohio Northern University, and an Executive MBA from The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business.

Justin Bashein, the Company's first permanent R&D director, leads both product formulation and new product development. His responsibilities include managing quality assurance (QA), quality control (QC) and regulatory compliance. Delivering safe, enjoyable experiences for consumers means identifying new technologies and capabilities to fuel the company's innovative product development plans. Bashein offers experience in several food disciplines including confection, bakery and dairy. He joined RMCF from Roth Industries, a leading prepared foods manufacturer and distributor, where he served as R&D Manager. He previously held QA jobs at Conagra Brands and Thanasi Foods, and served as an inspector for the Colorado Department of Agriculture. Bashein holds a bachelor's degree in food science & technology from Brigham Young University and brings over six years of quality and regulatory experience.
