TORRANCE, CA January 5, 2001 Agribuys, a supply chain solution provider for the food industry, recently named Rajesh Shah as their new vice president of systems engineering and integration. He will be based in Agribuys' Southern California office, and will lead their efforts to develop end-to-end integration for its food industry supply chain partners.

I was attracted to Agribuys by the decisiveness of its executive team, the speed with which it implements new technology, and its visionary business plan that focuses clearly on supply chain integration to help optimize the food procurement and distribution process globally, said Shah. This is an outstanding opportunity for me to join a team that is extremely well positioned in this emerging market.
