Cork Supply USA adds Max Levine as Supply Chain Specialist

Cork Supply USA is pleased to announce the addition of Max Levine as supply chain specialist. With the aim of increasing efficiency and customer satisfaction, Levine will manage purchasing and logistics for Sparflex wine capsules. In addition, Levine will work with customers to ensure that the artwork for all cork and capsule products meets their expectations.

“Max is an excellent addition to our company,” said James Herwatt, CEO of Cork Supply USA. “He has a passion for the wine industry, is highly intellectual, and has a keen understanding of artwork and design and a focus on engineering that will be extremely helpful in meeting the needs of our customers.”

As a 2010 graduate from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, with a degree in Industrial Technology and a minor in Packaging, Levine possesses a strong technical background, an understanding of the supply chain, and a larger awareness of how to support customers and suppliers through the entire supply chain process.

“Cork Supply is a company that is ambitious,” Levine said. “I know that this company has built brands before, and that is something that is difficult to do. This company makes things succeed by its hard work, values, and core leadership, so I thought this would be a great way to get into the wine industry since the position and the ideals of the company fit my style and what I’m good at.”
