We are strengthening our team in the USA to meet growing demand as our market share rises in a buoyant market.

Wade Madsen has joined the sales team based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Wade has a strong background with Baker Perkins as a service engineer and account manager in our food equipment business.

“I’m very happy that Wade is joining the Industrial Extrusion Team. The large growth in new extruder sales, as well as our continuing robust aftermarket business is the driver for adding Wade. His technical experience from being a service engineer will be a valuable asset for Baker Perkins. This will allow us to continue providing excellent aftermarket support as well promoting our MAX³ technology that is changing the way customers process powder coatings.”

Randy Kincer – Product Manager IEX

The impact of the MAX³ infeed system has been a significant factor in our strong growth as customers recognize its effect on throughputs and efficiency. Major customers in the USA and around the world have placed significant orders for multiple machines.

There seems no slackening in demand as onshoring continues to return manufacture of key parts from the Far East to the USA. The absence of volatiles in the powder coating process continues to win market share from the paint alternative in sectors including the automotive, decorative, and architectural industries.

People in our experienced team with new responsibilities include:

Katie Winkle - Sales Director

Randy Kincer - Product Manager / Key Accounts - Central and South America
Wade Madsen - Account Manager

Joel Bollinger - Service Manager

Matt Sinkovich - Upgrades and Rebuilds

Scott Bush - Parts and Services

Service engineers and parts specialists dedicated to our powder coatings business are also located in Grand Rapids, fully supported by process and technical specialists in the UK.
