JBT Marel Appoints New Executives For Its Fish Division

Earlier this month, US-headquartered JBT Marel announced key organizational changes in its leadership in its fish division. The company produces machinery for the tuna processing industry. Diego Lages, who formerly helmed the role of Global Sales Director in the company, took over as Director Service, Fish. Jón Birgir Gunnarsson stepped into the role of Director Sales, Fish. Skúli Sigurðsson was appointed as the Vice President and General Manager, Fish.

JBT Marel was formed late last year after the merging of the two companies JBT and Marel, both dealing with tuna processing equipment business. Lages said the new leadership will ensure that customers are at the center. “At JBT Marel, we always go beyond the machines in our offerings, and now I have a fantastic opportunity to prove this commitment to our customers and the entire seafood market.” The company said in a statement that the strategic organizational changes in the Fish division signal a strong intention to stay close to the roots of Marel Fish in the EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) region, reinforcing its dedication to its heritage and regional expertise.
