The new portioning, coating, cooking and frying sales team will focus on marketing JBT FoodTech’s range of further processing products which includes the Stein range of ovens, breaders, fryers and coating equipment, the Double D high impingement multi-purpose cookers, ovens and searer/grill markers and the DSI slicing and portioning systems, all of which can be integrated to form multi-phase in-line processing solutions.
JBT FoodTech’s sales team in the UK will continue to be led by Barry Jackson. UK agents, Richard Burke and Byron Davies from BFS Europe, will continue to be responsible for the sales of the Double D range of custom-built ovens and searer/grill markers to the UK protein industry.
JBT FoodTech’s Frigoscandia range of spiral freezers, chillers and proofers, will continue to be managed by members of its existing sales force in Europe. Heading the new European team as sales director will be Bob Petrie, who is also MD of JBT FoodTech’s UK headquarters near Edinburgh.
Petrie said: “As the JBT FoodTech portfolio of products expands we are becoming more aware of the need to provide fully integrated solutions by adding further processing products to the already highly successful line of Frigoscandia spiral freezers, chillers and proofers.
“The opportunities in this area are so diverse and broad that we made the decision to form a dedicated sales force to concentrate 100% on developing this side of the business, where each region can focus on its particular further processing requirements and applications. The team will work closely with the current sales teams which will continue to focus on developing business for the Frigoscandia range.”
