A new division manager and a new butter plant superintendent have been named for the New Ulm plant of Associated Milk Producers, Inc.

Marvin Schutt has been named manager of the New Ulm plant. His appointment was announced by Don Gregg, AMPI North Central Region manager.

William Goebel has been named by Schutt as butter plant superintendent. He will succeed Norman Warwick, who is being transferred to the AMPI plant at Pelican Rapids,where he will assume the duties of division manager. Goebel is a 19-year veteran of AMPI.

Schutt, age 47, has had 30 years of experience in the dairy business. An Iowa native, he comes to New Ulm from Sioux Center, Iowa, where he managed the Sioux Center AMPI butter-powder plant. The New Ulm AMPI is considered the largest butter-producing plant in the world.

After a brief stint in the U.S. Navy in the latter part of World War II, Schutt settled in Roseburg, Ore.,and worked for a creamery there–his introduction to the dairy business. From Oregon he returned to Iowa and began work in the Sioux Center Co-op Creamery at Sioux Center, Iowa, in 1949, and worked there ever since–until his promotion to manager of the New Ulm plant.

Schutt succeeds Bill Hansen, who has managed the plant for the past five years. Hansen is being transferred to the AMPI cheese cutting and wrapping plant at Portage, Wis. While at New Ulm, Hansen developed the New Ulm plant into one of the largest, most diversified butter printing plants in the nation.

More than 67 million pounds of butter were churned in 1975, with approximately 60 million pounds manufactured into prints.

Mr. and Mrs. Schutt have purchased a home on Willow Road in New Ulm and plan to move in about the middle of February. They have two daughters, Audrey Schutt, who is employed as a secretary in Sioux City, and Lindan Mrs. John Youncern in Cedar Falls.
