After continued growth, Landmark Snacks was opened in 2016 to allow the expansion of a co-packing business.

At the national level, the Lottmans were the recipients of the 2001 AAMP Accomplishment Award, which recognizes the honoree’s outstanding achievements in the meat and poultry industry, accomplished over a relatively short period of time. Lottman has served as the chair of the Meat Inspection/Governmental Affairs Committee, as well as the Membership and Scholarship Committees.
In his local community, Lottman has been a member of the Fairbury Chamber of Commerce since 2002, Beatrice Chamber of Commerce since 2012, and member of the Diller Community Club since 1994. He has been a Diller volunteer firefighter for over 22 years, 18 of those years also serving as an EMT. In 2007, he received the Volunteer of the Year Award by the Fairbury Chamber of Commerce. He is a lifetime member and 7th generation at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Diller. He and wife, Courtney, have two daughters.
