He has served the food & beverage, pharma, personal care and chemical sectors with lead roles in technical sales and business development at SPX Flow, Alfa Laval, Siemens and SIHI Pumps.

Filling the Business Development Manager role is Mike Brandt, with a 20-year history in the sanitary processing and industrial sectors coming to us from GEA USA, as Business Development

His previous experiences at GEA, Crane Engineering, and Sanimatic have him well prepared to work with Ampco’s sales team identifying and developing new opportunities.
