December 18, 2025 – Exciting team growth marked the fourth quarter for VES-Artex with the addition of Josh Tutewohl. Tutewohl joined the company as a pricing analyst, bringing more than 16 years of experience in retail analytics, merchandising, and pricing strategy.

In his role, Tutewohl focuses on analyzing sales and inventory metrics to help identify optimal pricing strategies that support sales performance and inventory management across the organization.

Tutewohl’s professional background includes corporate roles with national retail organizations, where he worked in merchandising and pricing analytics across a wide range of product categories. While he entered VES-Artex without a formal agriculture or dairy background, he says the transition has been both energizing and rewarding.

“Changing industries has been a good challenge,” Tutewohl shares. “I’m still learning a wide portfolio of products, but now I get to also learn the story behind them. Working with the sales teams and product managers to understand what they need and how pricing supports has been one of the most exciting parts of the role so far.”

VES-Artex leadership says Tutewohl’s analytical mindset and collaborative approach have already added value to the organization.

“Coming from outside of agriculture with a strong price analysis background, Josh brings a fresh perspective and curiosity that strengthens how we think about our business every day,” says Ed Krasnov, CEO and co-owner of VES-Artex. “He isn’t just looking at numbers. He’s asking questions about products, helping teams connect the dots, and making sure we’re pricing and planning in a way that supports both our people and our customers long term.”

Tutewohl says one of the aspects he values most about working at VES-Artex is the opportunity to collaborate across departments and learn from team members with deep industry expertise.

“I see my role as a helping hand,” he says. “Whether it’s sales reps or product managers, I want to understand their goals and help provide the data they need. Being able to learn from the experts here has been a really cool experience.”

Looking ahead, Tutewohl is focused on continuing to build reporting and analytics capabilities that help teams access accurate, timely data and make informed decisions.
