MULTIVAC, Inc. hired Michael Johnson as a regional sales manager in the Western Region, with a primary focus on the food industry in Alaska, Washington, and Oregon. MULTIVAC is excited to have Johnson and his 20 years of food industry experience on the team.
For the past five years, Johnson has worked as a product sales manager with Air Clean Technologies/Air Right Products and Services. Prior to holding that position, Johnson worked for Mettler Toledo, Inc. as the Northwest project manager/account manager for four years.
As a regional sales manager for the food industry, Johnson will work closely with customers to identify potential sales opportunities while cultivating relationships with existing MULTIVAC customers.
“We are very excited to welcome Michael to MULTIVAC,” says Gregg Poffenbarger, regional sales director for the Western Region. “Over the past five years we have continued to increase our market share in the food industry. This is a great time for Michael to join our team. He has tremendous industry experience and with his consultative sales approach, Michael will quickly earn the trust and support of our valued customers.”
MULTIVAC continues to develop new products and services that meet the changing needs of the packaging industry. In the past two years, regional sales offices have opened in California, New Jersey, and North Carolina to bring sales coverage and service closer to the customer. Also in 2016, the U.S. headquarters completed a 32,000 sq.-ft. addition for manufacturing. Currently, MULTIVAC is undergoing renovations that include an innovation and demonstration area, allowing customers to have hands-on experience with new and emerging MULTIVAC technologies.
