\u201cMarketing is one important way we communicate with our customers and prospective customers \u2013 letting people know what solutions we offer, how our technology works and, ultimately, how we can improve their bottom line. We don\u2019t look at marketing as superficial but as the first step to helping our customers succeed,\u201d said Marco Azzaretti, Director of Marketing at Key Technology. \u201cBuffy\u2019s expertise in industrial B2B marketing, plus her background working with other Duravant brands, makes her a great fit for our team.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

I am excited to be part of this industry evolution,\u201d said Hagerman. \u201cThe COVID pandemic and current labor shortage means food processors are increasingly being asked to do more with fewer available workers.
