Accraply, part of Barry-Wehmiller, is a leader in the design, manufacture and support of automated label-application systems, as well as converting and finishing equipment, for the shrink sleeve and flexible packaging markets.

“Jeff’s proven sales leadership, business development and strategic marketing skills—as well as his extensive knowledge of international markets—will serve both our customers and Accraply well as we continue to expand our labeling and converting equipment footprint globally,” Lafferty says. “His deep knowledge of BW Packaging Solutions, his broad knowledge of the global packaging market and his total alignment to our people-centric culture make him an ideal addition to our executive leadership team.”

In this role, Strobach will provide leadership for all sales team activities, as well as the global marketing and business development teams.

I am excited to partner with the talented team to deliver leading-edge technology and innovative solutions to existing and new customers around the world,” Strobach says.

At Koller, Strobach was Director of International Sales and Business Development, and was responsible for sales, marketing and distribution strategies for Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. Prior to joining Barry-Wehmiller, he was Global Business Development Director at Duke Manufacturing, a manufacturer of commercial food service equipment.
