Hoshizaki Adds to Strategic Sales Team

Kelly Marincik, a Hoshizaki employee since 2005, has been appointed to a new role.

As the new director of strategic accounts management, Marincik will work closely with Hoshizaki’s sales team and distribution partners. She will look to strengthen relationships with existing strategic accounts, notes a press release, plus expand product sales within national chains and onboard new customers.

Prior to Hoshizaki, Marincik worked in sales at Traulsen, then with an manufacturers’ representative firm. At Hoshizaki, she most recently served as the regional sales director for the Southcentral region, building partnerships with chains including Panera Bread, Freddy’s Frozen Custard and Wingstop.

“Kelly’s wealth of experience and proven track record of success with national accounts will be instrumental in driving Hoshizaki’s continued growth,” says Rod Johnson, senior director of strategic sales. “We’re looking forward to seeing her leadership in this new role as we continue to strengthen relationships with our key partners and expand our market presence.”

Hoshizaki America, based in Peachtree City, Ga., manufactures commercial ice machines, refrigerators, freezers, prep tables, display cases and dispensers.
