ITW FEG Builds Specifier-Focused Team

ITW Food Equipment Group has introduced a new team, called the ITW Total Kitchen Solutions Project & Design Team, who will focus on supporting foodservice consultants and specifier partners. The team will take effect in January.

Dan Montgomery, previously director of design and project business at Vulcan; Laura Gutkowski, previously director of marketing at Traulsen; and Shayne Varnum, previously director, consultant services and government sales for ITW FEG, will each serve the role of director, design and consultant support.

Montgomery will cover the Western U.S.; Gutkowski will be responsible for the Central U.S.; and Varnum will cover the Eastern U.S.

Combined, the team has nearly 100 years of experience in the foodservice equipment industry, supporting kitchen designers and specifiers. Together, they will represent the complete portfolio of ITW FEG brands, including Hobart, Vulcan, Traulsen, Baxter and Gaylord, to deliver a total kitchen solution.

“We are excited to announce this strategic organizational change and are confident in the ability of this team to build deep engagement and strong relationships with our consultants and dealer designers.”
