Okarno has appointed Ross Baxter as Managing Director.

Baxter brings over twenty years of experience in logistics and commercial leadership. Together with the senior management team he will aim to focus on three strategic priorities: delivering outstanding customer service and flexible supply chain solutions; driving innovation across the product range and logistics management; and strengthening Okarno’s position as the preferred supply chain partner for Saint-Gobain's sister brands.

Before joining Saint-Gobain in 2011 as Commercial Director for Pasquill, Baxter worked for a global construction and power tools manufacturer, where he developed his expertise in logistics and supply chain management. His specialisation in logistics, combined with his hands-on experience across multiple business functions, aligns perfectly with Okarno's mission to provide flexible, reliable supply chain solutions.

This appointment comes at a crucial time for Okarno, as the company strengthens its market position following a recent rebrand and its commitment to providing exceptional customer service.

"I'm delighted to be leading Okarno during this transformative period," said Baxter. "Our priority is to act as a true supply chain partner for our customers, offering everything from single parcels to full pallets with rapid turnaround, combined with a customer-centric culture and service mindset. We're investing in modern warehouse management systems integrated with our ERP to support real-time distribution, while maintaining our commitment to sustainability and operational excellence

“As part of Saint-Gobain's Lead and Grow strategy, we're focused on nurturing long-term relationships with customers and building Okarno's reputation as the most reliable, flexible supply chain solution in our sector. Our focus is on strengthening Okarno’s position as the supply-chain partner of choice for our Saint-Gobain sister brands."
