Leading North American importer Oppenheimer Group has moved to appoint Eric Ziegenfuss as its newest sales representative.
Mr Ziegenfuss joined the Vancouver-based fresh produce company on 1 November, operating in the team of sales people at the group's Newark location, marketing a full range of fresh fruit and vegetables to retail, wholesale and foodservice customers in the northeast.
'Eric's relevant background and innovative outlook make him a good fit for Oppenheimer,' said Bill Poulos, sales manager. 'He has joined us at a time when our business is growing. Eric's skills will help us maintain the high levels of service we strive for with our existing customer base, and create new opportunities for our products as well.'
Mr Ziegenfuss brings experience gained at South Mill Mushroom Sales, where he worked in sales and new business development from June 2009 until he joined Oppenheimer, and he also spent two years at Rosemount Farms.
