Brian Hedlund was named vice president – foodservice equipment; Dennis Park was appointed vice president – foodservice sales; Nancy Wagner became vice president of customer experience; and Aamer Mohammed is now director of engineering – equipment.

Along with the announcement, the company also said the management of the Stoelting Foodservice division will move under Vollrath umbrella and this new leadership.

“We are proud to extend new responsibilities to this group of high-performing leaders,” said Paul Bartelt, Vollrath CEO and president in a statement. “I’m confident they will make a positive impact on Vollrath in their respective roles and move the streamlined organization forward on a significant growth trajectory.”
