Provisur Technologies names James Petersen sales manager, North America
Provisur Technologies Inc., a leading global provider of high performance food processing equipment, has promoted James “Jim” Petersen to Sales Manager, North America, for its Formax Forming, TST and Weiler product lines.
In his role, Petersen leads a team of account managers in driving the growth among existing and new customers and expanding the Provisur brands in regions throughout North America.
