Baldinelli will lead and direct the sales team in Canada and work in collaboration with the Canadian culinary team to expand sales and business development throughout the provinces. Harvey, formerly a business-development specialist in the Northwest United States, now will manage that territory and work with and train representative agencies.

In customer service, Brooke Wilman was promoted to customer-service manager-inside sales, overseeing both domestic and international divisions. Nancy Gagnon was elevated to customer-service manager to lead the department and support efforts in the equipment and service-parts sales for Canada.

“All of these individuals are an integral part of the Alto-Shaam team and make up the backbone of our growing company,” said Steve Maahs, the company’s president and COO. Alto-Shaam is marking its 60^th anniversary this year.
