Ishida Europe has announced the appointment of Jorgen Groenewegen as General Sales Manager for Northern Europe, which covers the Benelux countries.

Wim Hermans, Regional General Manager for North & East Europe said: “We recently announced the creation of two extended sub-regions as part of a wider transformation enabling Ishida Europe’s strategic expansion of operations across the EMEA region while enhancing its customer focus.

“Northern Europe is an integral part of our newly formed region and there are numerous successful and growing companies that serve domestic and export markets. Many of them trust and rely on Ishida’s expertise, quality, and project solutions.

The teams will look to serve our large installed base and keep delivering solutions that contribute to our customers’ innovation, automation and quality assurance needs.”

With more than 15 years’ experience working close to the food industry, Jorgen is well versed in its requirements. During this time, he has worked for various businesses delivering a diverse range of solutions across Benelux, UK, and Nordics. 

Jorgen added: “I am delighted that Ishida provides me with the opportunity to lead the business with this permanent appointment. The Ishida range offers unrivalled quality and performance, and I am proud to support both our current and future customers.”
