Tomra Food has appointed Paul Slupecki as senior vice president, head of Tomra Fresh Food. This follows the reorganization of Tomra Food into two business areas, Tomra Fresh Food and Tomra Processed Food. Tomra Fresh Food is the global leader in integrated packhouse solutions for fresh fruit and vegetables. These solutions include sorting, grading, peeling, analytical, and packing technologies.
Paul was previously Tomra Fresh Food’s vice president, head of global sales. He was instrumental in developing Tomra’s Fresh Food activities since joining the company in 2019, leading direct commercial market access in Europe and Latin America as well as recently establishing an integrated business partnership with ICOEL, which also designs and manufactures fruit and vegetable processing equipment.
Michel Picandet, executive vice president and head of Tomra Food, said, “I am really pleased to have Paul as part of the Food leadership team and to continue working with him in his new capacity. Paul’s solid experience in the food industry and his previous commercial role in Tomra will reinforce our efforts and investment to work even more closely with our customers. I expect Paul will greatly contribute to our customers’ successes while continuing to develop a stronger network for Tomra Fresh Food around the world.”
Slupecki said, “I am very excited about my new role and, with the great team at Tomra Fresh Food, I look forward to being part of the Tomra resource revolution – helping customers grow their businesses while also having a positive impact on global sustainability. We are dedicated to giving our customers better access to Tomra’s teams in the regions and equipping them with the solutions that have the greatest positive impact on their bottom line.”
