President and Chief Executive Officer Craig Harlen announced the appointment on Thursday. He said Andrus brings “extensive executive experience, proven leadership abilities and a unique perspective on the western U.S. that will be exceptionally beneficial to us.”

Nu-West reported sales of $94 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, and employs about 300 people, primarily in Idaho.
