Marcone Strengthens Commercial Kitchen Team with New Additions
St. Louis, MO (August 19, 2024) – Leading North American distributor Marcone announced today the appointment of two leaders to its Commercial Kitchen vertical, demonstrating continued growth just two years after entering that industry.
Barney Hinkle was named Western Regional Sales Director, where he will oversee OEM parts distribution to independent service agents on the West Coast. Hinkle’s extensive marketing background includes consulting work in the beverage industry, as well as experience with Anheuser-Busch and blue-chip companies nationwide. He fills the role vacated by Jeff Victory, who was named Central Region Sales Director at Marcone Commercial Kitchen, a position created through rapidly expanding growth.
Scott K. Hoffmann became Vice President of National Accounts for the United States, where he will focus on driving national account business across various foodservice equipment channels. He brings a wealth of experience in sales and strategic account management from his time in the commercial real estate and building automation industries, which Marcone will rely on to continue expanding its marketplace influence.
“Adding these two talented professionals follows our mission and growth as we continue to focus on supporting independent service companies across our industry,” said Keri Llewellyn, President of Marcone Commercial Kitchen. “We look forward to revolutionizing the commercial kitchen repair market with Marcone’s deep commitment to customer service, vast inventory and expedited delivery options.”
Marcone Group has experienced tremendous growth through acquisition in recent years. The company has expanded from its roots as an appliance parts distributor to diversify into the HVAC, plumbing, pool and spa and commercial kitchen markets with a distribution network that promotes fast delivery through nearly 200 locations in the U.S. and Canada, including distribution centers in most major metro areas.
