Sensor-based food sorting solutions group Tomra Sorting has appointed Ashley Hunter as senior vice-president and head of its food business.
In his new role, based primarily in Leuven, Belgium, Hunter will oversee all activity conducted worldwide by Tomra Sorting Food.
Hunter was previously head of Tomra's food division in the Americas and Oceania, mainly based in Sacramento, California, a position that he had held since 2010.
“We already design and supply innovative, world-class sorting, peeling, and process analytics solutions for a very wide range of applications at every stage from farm to fork,' explained Hunter. 'We have more than 7,000 machines installed worldwide, augmented by an unrivalled global service network, and these factors undoubtedly give us very significant competitive advantages, but much important work remains to be done.
“There are still synergies to be released from the amalgamation of our two outstanding legacy food companies, for example, in terms of technology, experience, sales and distribution, and I’m determined that these advantages will be maximised in the months and years ahead,' he continued.
