He began his career as territory manager for the Carolinas with Swanson-Girard and Associates.

Maresca has nearly 30 years of foodservice equipment sales and marketing experience. Most recently, he was regional sales director for Marra Forni. Before that, he spent nearly a decade as regional sales director for ITW Food Equipment Group, where he led territory sales managers, rep groups, consultants and dealer networks across New England and New York and developed preferred dealer programs to optimize sales performance. He previously spent 16 years with Vulcan as national sales and marketing manager for range products, and he led the 2010 launch of a flagship range line.

“Our dealers and reps need people who understand their business and take an active role in helping them win,” says Brian Kadel, vice president of dealer sales, in the Oct. 6 press release. “Michael and Joe have built their careers by being those partners. They know the questions to ask, the challenges their customers face, and where manufacturer support can make a difference.”
